I select orders for technical books in a local bookstore.  As an
employee I get books at cost.  My question is: Do I have to pay
sales tax on out-of-state books?  If I order directly from an
out-of-state publisher, I do not pay sales tax, but I do pay list
price.  The scenario I would like to be true is that the bookstore
does not sell books to me, rather that as part of the company persona
I am buying directly from the publishers, who happen to be selling to
me at a lower price and so I am exempt from sales taxes.

The most common situation is getting books from New York.

I of course already asked the store but they don't know nor have the
time to find out.
