 Actually I buy a lot of "recycled" books from the Friends of the Library,
 yard sales, etc. And I don't even know very many people that buy books 
xcept
 for "paperbacks". Now that I think about it, I don't know many people that
 even _read_ books! 
 But my comment was more along the lines of "buying" "entertainment". Many
 people would rather plunk down big bucks (not to mention monthly fees) to
 have a sattelite dish installed so they can get 200 channels of mind-numbing
 escapism than to set foot inside a library.
