When the book loses its purpose !!
The book is an "ideas box" that the reader opens each time he wants to enrich his thinking, his feelings and his soul.
But it is also an 'object' very practical, as it is ideal for «press peppier", to put it under a table leg to not shake, put something on or to throw it against someone who got you angry.
Lately, it is useful as personal tool for the show off of the buyer, as a selfie which gives some publicity. Showing the book you bought and takes pictures holding it, as an accessory, an object to show, as a tool for vanity, humiliates the meaning of "source of ideas", become it as a dry subject just for a photo. It could be with no text inside. It would be enough if there was just the cover and the author's name.
What to say about the author. When he publishes these selfies and thanks his "readers", he reduces the value of his work and humiliates the meaning of the book.
But it seems that vanity is stronger than respect of the ideas and the work itself, which is no longer a "soul expression" but commercial transaction of marketing.
