The way I imagine that story, it would have been funny if you'd replied in your most fake-enthusiastic voice "Why yes we are! This book is just wonderful, it's my favorite one since last year..." or something like that and go on and on about the book as if they had expressed an interest in it :-p

I mean, I'm sure it's not a good idea to anger the customers that way but it's fun to imagine!

Reply to Buy books or borrow from library? by ladyluckyy777

Like a few other people said, I'll buy books that I might want to read repeatedly. But also, if I think a book was particularly well written, I'll buy it as a way of supporting the author and showing that I'm interested in more of that type of content.

I'm sure disappointingly little of the money I spend actually makes it to the author, but buying it seems like a logical first step.

Of course this is limited by my income and how much space I have to store books, if it's a physical book. (Currently all my bookshelves are overflowing so... the competition is tough lol)
