BEST-SELLERS

‘CAVE BEAR’ MARKET

Earth’s children got together this week and bought the Clan of the Cave Bear author’s latest Ayla adventure. The Shelters of Stone (1.3 million copies in print after three pressruns) rockets Jean M. Auel to the top of the fiction list. A 10-city tour should satisfy her clan of readers. In nonfiction, Marlo Thomas and Friends propel The Right Words at the Right Time to No. 10. And we wonder if Richard Blow, whose JFK Jr. portrait, American Son, sits at No. 14, is losing friends.
