[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To add to the two above posts: library sales are great and appreciated BUT library sales do not make a growing author's career work. Retail sales make them work, first week sales make them work, bookscan numbers, NYT, etc, make them work. People are conflating two separate issues. Simply, don't post that you don't love the author enough to BUY their book. For a growing author, library sales really only help the publisher. Retail sales means READERS are willing to shell out their hard earned money to buy the author's book. THAT helps growing authors. And again, libraries are great. This is all about announcing on social media that you're waiting for a library hold because you don't want to buy the book yourself. That you can't afford to buy the book is for another thread. NOT this one. [/quote] Not. Everyone. Can. Afford. It.[/quote]
