I blame/thank you Marie Kondo , who helped me wheedle down a staggering library- I gave away forty boxes-to a little more than one sensible shelf. Ever since going through the purge , I've been pretty hesitant to slide back into my old ways. Luckily , I'm a writer who writes about books , so sometimes people send me books , and sometimes I use one of my local libraries , and , well , sometimes I bite the bullet and splurge. (The truth , however , I try to buy only once I gave away titles that no longer have space on my shelf.) If you're like me at all , then , you know , buying a new book can feel like some sort of big deal. It's so untouched , so new , so yours. It's both investment and commitment-no bad thing , really-and for that reason , it seems worth considering. After all , why buy a new book when you can save a few bucks and buy a catchy book? (Or save a few more bucks and hit your library.) As it turns out , many situations deserve splurging on that new , pristine , uncracked spine. And thank God. No matter how tidy my apartment gets , I still feel great joy when I wander around the bookstore. You know you have to buy a new book... Because you spend your money on something that's more important than your life reading? 2 When you gift shopping If you're splurging on an autographed first edition for a die-hard bibliophile , avoid your friends and loved ones by thinking you've just wrapped something off your shelves , making sure the brand dust jackets are spanking new and uncreased. This means that you are also likely to buy a hardcover book and paperback iterations... and that's fine. Completely fine.4 When you know that the book will see some spills you want to make sure these spills are yours. (I'm talking about cooking , people , geez!) 5 When you Germaphobe Well , now that we all think about bodily fluids ... 6 When do you want to mark the heck out of this bookAre you are reading this book for school or study? Do you consider yourself fatal with a ballpoint or marker?

February 6 , 2015 4 min read Opinions Expressed by Entrepreneur Contributors their own. A few years ago , I got a call out of nowhere from a McGraw-Hill publishing company. Whether I want to write a book , the person on the line asks. Yes? Me? I was shocked and flattered. But But Did I know about writing a book? Absolutely nothing. I knew I would have to invest a lot of my time and I wasn't sure how my business would benefit. So I asked a few friends who wrote books for their advice. The best advice I got was from Tim Ferris , author of the 4-hour workweek. He told me not to hold back-to write my first book as if it were my last. I took his advice to heart and poured everything I knew about product licensing into one simple idea: Turn your dreams into goldmine licensing. Fast-forward a few years and I'm going to publish my fourth book. I don't know much! But time is everything. And it doesn't matter if you think there's something to say. If no one reads your book , what's the point? The time is right when you have all the following items to care about: Related: How I Landed My First Book Deal1 . Platform. How big is your audience?
