Not many people are willing to plunk down 20+ bucks for somebody they've never heard of, but they'll check the book out from the library. If they like it, they may very well plunk down the cash for book #2.JD Rhoadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123361739160525998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291165.post-1127414824389593102005-09-22T13:47:00.000-05:002005-09-22T13:47:00.000-05:00Sorry I missed your visit to the library.

While working with a few "street teams" for some of my favorite musicians, I brought up the library angle and everybody thought it was great. If I read a book from the library and I want to read it again, I will buy it. If I love it and can't wait to read the next book by that author, I will buy it and anxiously stalk Borders until it is on the shelf. I've found some of my favorite authors by happening across them at a library. Good luck, Joe.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I'm half way through Bloody Mary and contemplated staying up all night to finish.

A huge chunk of my childhood was happily spent in libraries and even though I tend to spend more time in bookstores than libraries these days, I still love the thought of all those books--and they're free.
