    Why Don't Books Have Advertising In Them?

    Why Don't Books Have Advertising In Them? Just wondering this? Seems strange because ads are everywhere else. Relevant ads to the topic being read. Maybe only in the front and back so there is no interrupted reading. This isn't really an idea suggestion, I'm just kinda curious why this was...
