David Louis Edelman On Book-Buying

David Louis Edelman (author of Infoquake) started a somewhat unscientific survey the other day, trying to find out how readers pick the books they read. He's now posted the results, which show that most people (of the ones he asked, at least) buy books because they already like the author, and then secondarily on a recommendation from a friend or acquaintance.
