If I can borrow a book, I'll wait as long as it takes, with rare exceptions. My local library, which, since its return to Overdrive, has been my best source for new releases, generally buys only one copy anyway.
I don't know how this embargo will improve sales for Macmillan, though. If a book has a long waiting list, chances are that at the end of the eight weeks, the library will buy multiple copies and the line will move along briskly. People who absolutely MUST have a book immediately are the ones who probably would have bought it anyway, the rest of us will just wait a bit longer.
