01/15/2006: "The price of ego"
When you are interested in reading a book, do you:
a. immediately click on the link to the friendly Amazon site near you,
b. visit your local independent book shop,
c. go to a chain store,
d. hassle your library to order a copy for you?
I confess that ever since an indie store took on a few of my books (all "properly" published with amedium-press publisher, no vanity press here), I buy the bulk of my reading matter through them, even though I could get it up to 20% cheaper elsewhere. I buy them even though I know the Terry Pratchett I order from them will turn out to be the USA edition with geographically-challenged spelling.
Is that telling, or what?
