   The used book has always been both a problem and a solution. I wrote about the used book (in German), if anyone wants a copy, just send me an email.

   "Das gebrauchte Buch ist variantenreich und vielzählig, definitorisch schwer zu greifen, es gehört dazu und wird ständig irgendwie materiell entschafft bzw. entsorgt." #

     They changed the headline of the story, #bookhistory nerds, but kept the argument. It’s a world full of used books, and we need to answer the basic question: how to do with books in a material world? Personally, I do like the "cult of book ownership" phrase.
