“In 1977, Judy-Lynn and Lester launched Del Rey at Ballantine. The fantasy list was led by Terry Brooks’ The Sword of Shannara, Piers Anthony’s A Spell for Chameleon, and Stephen Donaldson’s Lord Foul’s Bane. All sold massively, with Brooks’ book reaching No. 2 on Publishers Weekly’s trade paperback bestseller list. (The science fiction line also contributed to Del Rey’s instant success, thanks in large part to Judy-Lynn’s snapping up novelization rights for Star Wars, which sold nearly 4 million copies that year alone.)“
