What is the Value??? Example...Does Pratchett sell paper bound by glue or does he sell stories? Question...When I buy a book have I purchased the story? When I sell the book does any of that revenue go to mr Pratchett? What if I read the book and give it to someone, who then reads it and gives it to someone who then reads it and gives it to someones....(bookcrossing.com though with more succesfull passings). Does each reader send Mr Pratchett money? Have Used Bookstores, Recorstores etc destroyed the system of book/record economy? AS to the resident sourpuss, in germany bitter may be better but here its just plain stinkin thinkin. -tom
