My wife used to work at a used book store.  One of the unusual (and
profitable) types of regular orders that they would receive came from
the people who furnish model suites for house construction projects.
They would order "3 yards of green" or similar shelf space x colour
combinations.  They don't expect anyone to read the books, but they
want them to fit in with the room's decor!  Because of the lack of
intent to actually *read* the books, this is a gold mine for the
book store ("Now what has been sitting on the shelves so long that
we know we can't sell it any other way...?").
