Re: I have a question
[ QUOTE ]
When a book burning is held, who pays for the books? Most new books are not cheap. I would imagine a book burning is a very expensive fire.
As long as the books are not stolen, the author and publisher have still made some money so what is the big deal? If I was an author, I would say "go ahead and buy as many of my books as you can find, burn them if you want, the publisher can always print some more."

Does anyone know the answer to my question - "When a book burning is held, who pays for the books?"
Maybe they only buy a few books to go on top of the pile and the remaining books are just old cheap junk books like the ones you can buy by the pound. This would give the illusion of burning a lot of the books they are protesting, but would not be extremely expensive. Any ideas?
