Keyword mentions across 4,823 posts and 38,707 comments (2015–2026 ). At most one hit per keyword per post or comment.

In my mind, this is just a proxy of how widely used each book is among english-speaking patternmakers and patternlearners (and thus indicative of how much online support I can expect to find for that book).
