Addendum to previous survey: do you hoard books or pass them on/sell them when you are done? Camilla Send a noteboard - 26/06/2011 09:21:48 PM
I hoard books. I hardly ever give any of my own books away, and I never ever sell them. Even the bad ones. I am wondering whether the aversion to writing in books is tied up in some sort of transitory ownership-idea. I would have thought it would be the other way around, that those of us who cannot bear to part with the book as an object would be more protective of it, but now I am starting to wonder.

So: do you collect books?

do you purchase books specifically for collecting?

do you sell books when you are done with them?

do you borrow a lot of books in the library?

do you buy used books?

why/why not?
