100% yes. It’s good for authors, good for you, old books smell better, it’s kinda gets around art vs artist.
And more than anything it steals back a modicum of power from a system that treats you like nothing but a consumer.
Art (and you) are worth more than what you contribute to the economy.

Used books are a low-cost way to see if you like what an author has to offer. If you do find you like them, then you can buy their next book new, possibly from the same bookseller. They're also a way to get books no longer in print.
