[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha!! Just shows that those folks know nothing about publishing! Authors love library adoptions! Authors outside the NYT Bestseller lists make most of their money from library adoptions. And checking out the library's copy of a book (whether ebook or physical book) might inspire the library to buy more copies of that book or future books. But buying the book is also good. Making fun of people for how they get books is not good.[/quote] Agree. Authors want to be stocked in libraries! Libraries are NOT tacky; they are community hubs where people can access books and information, all for free. If you like buying your own copies of books, great. I read dozens of books a year; buying them all would cost a lot of money and take up a lot of space. My friend is an author and I always request his book at the library so that they'll buy it if they don't already have it.[/quote]
