Let $c > 0$ and let $f_{c} (n)$ be the maximal $m$ such that every graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and at least $c n^{2}$ edges, where each edge is contained in at least one triangle, must contain a book of size $m$ , that is, an edge shared by at least $m$ different triangles. Estimate $f_{c} (n)$ . In particular, is it true that $f_{c} (n) > n^{ϵ}$ for some $ϵ > 0$ ? Or $f_{c} (n) ≫ lo g n$ ?
