Can you purchase written books?
After your sim writes a book, I could have sworn there was a way to purchase written books? Am I crazy? LOL (Also it would be great if I could populate my save's bookshelves with books actually...

@PipMenace OOo That's cool! So don't hit publish at the mailbox but save them up to open a retail store? Where do I find more details on how to do this/set it up?
@E45Dodge Do you mean how to open a retail store with the Get to Work expansion?
There's an icon added on the far right if you have Get to Work (or Cats & Dogs, which adds the ability to own a vet clinic). Open this, make sure you're in the retail tab, and click "Buy a Retail"
Choose a lot you can afford - it can be empty, but you won't be allowed to open until you have at least a cash register and that cash register will need a counter to sit on. Transfer funds into your business account and if they're not already on the lot, buy a counter and cash register.
You can now sell pretty much anything by placing it on the lot and marking it for sale. If you have an author who's written some books, they could bring their books here instead of mailing them off to a publisher. Then you open your shop. You can even get copies of your book by restocking after it sells. You'll need to use the sales social interactions with customers to encourage them to buy, ring them up when they're ready, and clean counter and table tops when they get dirty.
