According to Publishers Weekly, Ruth Liebmann, director of account marketing at 
Random House, made the best case on behalf of the libraries earlier this year. 
"A library book does not compete with a sale," she said, "A library book is a 
sale." Libraries are comparable to independent booksellers as a percentage of 
business, and they "never send books back."
