"If You Really Love Me, You'll Buy My Book!"
I happily go to used book sales in hopes of good deals. I like saving money just like the next gal. But what we must remember is that new book sales is what keep our favorite authors paid and thus able to keep producing books we love. I usually go to Barnes and Noble in December to buy some new books or gift cards for family and friends. And if I have my own gift card to spend, it's even sweeter to show my love!

Oh, I'm all about buying hardbacks. I have about twenty favorite writers, and I not only buy their latest book in hardcover, I am usually buying it on the day that is released. A Writer needs to feed her family like the rest of us.
i wonder when an author will break out of the industry standard and just have people purchase books directly via the internet, instead of going through an established publisher? or perhaps somebody already has. I've often wondered, too, if the set-up is similar to the music industry, with authors having to pay back the debt of advances if the book doesn't sell?
