I’ve been in homes where people seem to have spent less than their thirty cents per capita on books. Based on the size of their TV sets, etc., I don’t think it was because they lacked the money.
I love the snark — so out of place for modern advertising. “Maybe you already have a Hypothesis?!”
My parents once purchased a new bookcase, a fancy, cantilevered hang on the wall model, and there was some issue. A rep showed up to fix it and was stunned by the number of books. Apparently, filling a bookcase with books was uncommon even in the 1960s. The model wasn’t really designed to hold that kind of weight.
According to http://www.statista.com/statistics/191043/us-consumer-spending-on-books-since-2002, Americans spent a total of $25 per consumer on books (excluding purchases through book clubs) in 2016.
Um, I spend more than that every 3 or 4 days . I suppose that’s fair — somebody is eating my per capita share of ice cream, so I get his books.
Maybe they’re all going to the LIBRARY!
