Zodwallops timeline missed the original sin post...the one claiming folks buying new release books at new release prices were rubes and being ripped off (or words very close to that).
It is those very people that support the art the most. Yes they do. yes....yes they do. The dude reading books out of the charity pile or local garage...are valuable human beings. They just aren’t supporting the creation of more books by the very authors they like.
The rest is just defensiveness that “I’m a good person even if I only buy books that cost a dollar”. You are, perhaps...as this has nothing to do with being a good person. It has everything to do with supporting the art the we all here seem to love.
Maybe...just maybe...instead of buying books at the best deal for yourself...you buy books in a way to support the creation of the next book. For those that can.
If you CAN afford to buy a book...perhaps you do, EVEN THOUGH you could check it out of your local library for free...leaving said book available to check out for those who can’t afford to buy their own copy AND supporting the author better as well.
Just a thought
