Question regarding publishing and purchasing books

One of my writer sims published a few nice books and I thought I would have some sims in the neighborhood buy her books to read, but I found that's not possible? Why is this? If the book is published...

    Once you publish it, it's basically gone forever. There is something you can do if you don't mind Mods. LittleMsSam updated one of Scumbumbo's mods "Keep books after publishing". Allows you to keep the book after publishing it. You can then put it in your bookshelf, give it as a gift, or put it up for sale. Same quality because it's just not "removed" once publishing.

    If you have the cloning machine from Get to Work's Scientist career or the CopyPasto spell from Realm of Magic, you can use those to get copies of the book as well.

    Just the royalties are different. You get the option to "Self Publish" right away. But you don't get to "Sell to Publisher" until writing level 5 and "Submit to literary digest" at level 9. Each subsequent one gives you better royalties.
