Why read it?
1 author picked Scandalous Women as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Add to that, book tours didn't exist until Jackie Collins and Jacqueline Susann took it upon themselves to make relationships with both bookstores and readers via scheduled tours across the country.
