| Video Discription | What are the ethical implications of buying second-hand books? What impact does it have on authors, industries and the environment? What are the arguments for and against buying books in charity shops? In this video I try to answer these questions in what I hope is a fairly balanced (but by no means objective) discussion. EDIT: I've just noticed that the Philip Pullman quote does not show on the screen in full, so here is the complete text: "It’s easy to think that readers gain a great deal by being able to buy books cheaply. But if a price is unrealistically cheap, it can damage the author’s reputation (or brand, as we say now), and lead to the impression that books are a cheap commodity and reading is an experience that’s not worth very much."
