I don’t know why, but when it comes to books, if it’s not the original don’t even think about getting me to buy it (yes, guilty as charged for the photocopy Pengajian M’sia book I got last year). I’m not sure when this fussiness over original copies started but I think it’s a good thing ya?
By buying the original, you’re not showing off to others that you’re rich and you can afford it. No, you are simply stating that you’re against book piracy. But for my case, it’s simply because I cannot stand photocopied books. They’re such a turn off and it totally spoils my mood to read them (which explains why that book I got last year was barely touched).
I need lots of colour in my life, same goes for books. I need them in colour!! No colour, no interest. I sound like a little kid don’t I? *chuckles* I’m fine with that. Colours!!! Haha I cannot read a textbook with no colours in it. It’s so boring to see only black and white and highlighters does little to help honestly. Even back in secondary, textbooks were mostly coloured and reference books were rarely black and white.
Even my friends know that now *hehe* they’ll be like “Oh, Zhiying doesn’t buy photostated books.” And it’s a good thing I have some friends who are like me, people who prefer original over photocopied versions.
Support the authors, they worked hard to present the knowledge to us so it’s the least we can do.
Buy ORIGINAL textbooks!! :D
