| Abstract: | Familiarity is a precondition for trust, and trust is a prerequisite of social behavior, especially regarding important decisions. This study examines this idea in the context of the E-commerce involved in inquiring about and purchasing books on the Internet. Survey data from 127 potential users support and extend this hypothesis. |
