In the past, well before the dawn of the online age, worldwide attitudes towards selling self-published books (or any books in general) were somewhat different from what we see in today’s society. Early civilizations published books for the sake of adding to the body of general knowledge for the betterment of mankind, to catalogue history, or to express- the reasons for publishing books are, and always have been, interrelated with the innate curiosity man and our primal inclination to express ourselves.
In today’s day and age, not much has changed in that aspect. However, one thing is for sure- the business and advertising side of it took on a drastic shift in structure when the selling of books began to become a competitive business model, and with the advent of the internet and the gradual decline of traditional bookstores and rise in online ones, collective perspectives towards online book selling evolved as well.
