The Geisler Library at Central College in Pella, Iowa added the book “The life and secrets of Almina Carnarvon : a candid biography of the 5th Countess of Carnarvon of Tutankhamun” fame to their collection in August 2012. It has checked out via interlibrary loan 11 times in 3 years. The book has a subject connection with the popular television show Downton Abbey and that is likely the cause of some of the demand for the book.
One of the librarians made a map showing the travels of the book:

The librarian that made the map passed on this additional comment – We joke that this book is out of Iowa more than it is in it.
