Attitudes to book discounting

Attitudes to book discounting


Thank you very much for taking part in this survey, it should only take a few minutes to fill out the questionnaire.

I am trying to find out about consumer perceptions of the value of books.

This survey covers only 'consumer books' which includes general fiction and non-fiction but NOT professional books, text books or school books.

The results of this survey will be used in my dissertation on the effects of price-cutting on the book industry.
