Let's talk about books and the public trust.

Something that is easy to forget, in these days of barcode-scanning / auto-adjust pricing on third-party platforms for pennies plus shipping:
Booksellers are not merely people who sell some popular books in a competitive market.

I will never not be irritated by academic books that use short form endnotes tied to bibliographies that divide listings into primary, secondary, unpublished, online, government reports, or whatever. I want to read efficiently, not play the world's worst game of scholarly Where's Waldo 🗃️

Read in public. Read in private. Read e-books, genre books, comics, fanfiction. Read literature. Read nonfiction. Read books you’ve already read. Listen to audiobooks. Read what you want. There’s no such thing as “doing reading the wrong way.”
