Well, I mean, Comiket....

But this sure as hell ain't Comiket.

These are new books that haven't been read. Not books I already love, and want to meet the author. This whole event sounds like it should have been done free at the library to me.

Comiket isn't for books you've already read either. It's for fan works that were in limited supply. I was just reading Genshiken and the chapter they have on Comiket is pretty good.
