[Avodah] Bracha on Megillah

[Rich, Joel]

I could see a reason not to buy a kelaf, since it shows an expectation
that one would be mourning enough 9 beAv's to justify the investment.
For similar reasons, there was initially rabbinic resistence to
hard-cover bound sifrei Qinos, saying there was meaning in using the
cheap staple-back ones.

Tir'u baTov!

every year for just this reason.
