I was an independent bookseller for 7 and 1/2 years. Yes, the classic still sell. And, a bunch of the publishers will reissue the classics with different covers or forwards to get people excited about them. I’m pretty sure Harper Collins did this as well as Penguin classics. Penguin Random House would always have good deals on the Penguin classics, so I could set up a display and give good discounts to the customers.
