What is your policy when it comes to new authors? Do you feel comfortable purchasing a book, or do you prefer to borrow new authors from the library? How often do you ‘try out’ a new author?


I do not really have a policy about new authors. The fact is I am often reading new authors because the book looks good, or because a friend reccomended the book to me. In general I am more comfortable getting a new authors book via borrowing or a trade on Paperback Swap, but if the book really appeals to me I will buy it. Someone being new is not a good reason for me to not buy a book. After all every author was new at one time.
