I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

A few days well spent in the beautiful Erzgebirge to focus on the last chapters of my new book. In between drawing and hiking we explored many empty buildings, much like my characters. Thank you @ullilust.bsky.social and Kai for everything!!
