To clarify it was boxes of books from Penguin Random House. I did not shove 334 pounds of antarctic seabird into boxes at my job

alright for the millionth time I’m seeing yet another author I admire talk about how they literally can barely afford to live & yet there are people openly admitting to pirating their books so, like

i guess it needs to be said again

pirating books is not the same as pirating your favourite Disney movie or whatever. book piracy kills author’s incomes and can genuinely ruin someone’s career

Textbooks and other research materials being paywalled by greedy fucking publishing houses who won’t pay any of that money to the authors anyway? Pirate them.

Novel written by an author and published through a regular publishing house? BORROW FROM A LIBRARY or buy outright. Do not pirate. The sales/borrow numbers OUTRIGHT determines pay to the author, whether their next book gets greenlit or cancelled, etc.

Bought this book today for $1.

It looks like a lot of effort has gone into this, to be fair.

Just… kinda terrifying in the same vein as 70′s cookbooks.
