Somebody already cataloged it, though, and gave it the subject heading:
Models (Persons) ǂv Fiction.
I could have done better.

You ready for some extreme geekery?
Models (Persons) $z New York (State) $z New York $v Fiction.Models (Persons) $x Drug use $v Fiction.
As for the 1-3 rule for SHs, it all depends. A lot of literary criticism books on broad subjects get tons of subject headings, while a book solely critiquing the works of Roald Dahl may only get one (a 600 name/title entry).

Phil why is your name so small on the book when YOU are the real star?? I'd complain until you get a billboard! It's still a 1-3 week order on Amazon UK so I will go and picket the hott London bookstores until we get it :) :)
WELL DONE YOU!

I like your headings! Is there any peer review of subject cataloging, or is it just up to the first person who gets to the job? And is that usually the LOC?
Here's on example:

And I remembered this one as having a lot of subjects, but apparently it only has two, rather specific ones
