dude you shouldn't be racking books like this. the more that are bought means the more that are ordered for the store, which in turn brings more money to those who made the book.

Well, actually you're wrong. The publisher doesn't front the bookstore the copies, the bookstore buys it from them. Just like stealing spraypaint, if what you said was true then all the spray paint companies would be out of business, but they still make money, it's just the store that is fucked. When people say you shouldn't steal something as opposed to something else they are being pricks, that would be like only tagging certain buildings because you do not like them. Like if only tagged on shoe stores because I got beat up in front of one, one time. But I tag everything indiscriminately, as it should be with everything......

precisely. the store gets fucked and goes "why would I buy more of this book? so people can keep stealing it?" and stops stocking it. the supplier has more copies sitting around and the people behind the book get less $$$$$. that was his point.

 

I gotta get a money order ready and pre-order cause its gonna be goood.....

yup your right, the publisher doesnt lose shit its the store,

 

but what really pisses me off is when good books that doent sell well in stores, you know what happends to them..

the store cuts the cover off the books and ships them to the publisher to prove that the book wasnt sold or stolen and they get there cash back and all those books go into the dumpster instead of a libary just cause the cost of shipping a book back to a publisher and they having to ship it to another store somewhere else is too much ..they do it cause it all about supply and demand

 

same way if you go to a 7 11 early morning, you will see the clerk cutting off the logos on the front page of day old new papers

all that shit goes into the dumpster, or if he likes you he will give you one

Not exactly, it might be kept behind the counter or something but they will still carry it. What about spraypaint, how much of it is actually sold not stolen? They stll carry paint. Book store's everywhere carried steal this book, despite the fact that it was always stolen.

well....I went out to get a copy of the new issue of graphotism today, and I ended up spending $90 on graff books. I got a copy of Getting Up (finally!) at the shop where I got graphotism, then while looking in a local bookstore what do I see in the "art" section.....Dondi White: Style Master General. When I bought it the clerk went "that was fast....I just put that out!" I mentioned that I thought it wasnt being released till the 13th and she said they didnt get any notes with the shipment so they put it out. Either way I'm happy...it takes alot to make me want to drop $53 on a graff book...but its delivered so far! fucking amazing! flix...sketches...stories...beautifully put together! you owe it to yourself to do whatever necessary to get yourself a copy!

ummm ok about the stealing thing... i stole just about every kurt vonnegut book from a large chain bookstore, did they stop carrying them? hell no, they actually have more now. i feel no remorse whatsoever stealing from huge corporations, in fact i feel that i'm doing the world a small favor. and i'm supporting the author as much as i would if i bought it ( don't know why so many people can never grasp this concept), so i dont see what people are getting upset about. i would never even consider stealing from a small business. but really, the bottom line is i like free shit

thats a poor analogy. Its like saying I steal Stephen Spielberg movies all the time and they keep restocking them, so it wont matter if I steal one of the two copies of the cope2 video they just started carrying. You cant apply that across the board. I could give a fuck whether you steal from big companies or not...I've stolen plenty of shit in my life, just dont think it wont have some impact on what they carry in the future. If they make money on it, and people buy it for the most part, it will keep showing up...if most copies get stolen and they dont have a big demand for it...its gone. simple as that. Its all money to them.

 

 

and the copy of getting up I got just has the blue and red tags in the background with text over it. only type I've ever seen pictures of. I honestly thought it was out of print...when I saw it behind the counter I didnt hesitate to grab it.
