Book consumption in Petrosani city.

The present communication is the result of an innitiative of one of the two authors who were enthusiastic to organise a Reading Marathon in the Marble Hall of Petroşani. The event was attended by persons intrested in such artistic manifestations and we identified the opportunity to find more about this subject and even further details (such as aspects related to owning a personal library, purchased, read or lent books along the time, preferences for a certain type of book etc. After a keen analysis of the received answers correlated to different environmental, social and demographic variables (such as age, gender, education, present occupation etc.), we reached to the conclusions exposed in this work paper.
