Every time an author states that borrowing from a library "steals" sales from them, I want to scream.

Publishers have indoctrinated authors against libraries, to authors' own detriment. Libraries buy your book, and if it gets popular, they buy more copies--but more, they introduce readers to your work, and those readers will spread the word, even if they don't buy your books themselves.

are unpaid marketing. Be thankful.

It's a bit hard to imagine how one can be an author and hate libraries at the same time, unless it turns out they actually hate books.

Who, loving books, would make such an outrageous statement? I mean, besides the marketing, libraries are also wonderful places for book lovers.

(Is this kind of non-sense becoming common?)
