Although the Orient Express board game didn't interest me (but it did interest 13,000 backers), I'm eager to see what other board game ideas they have.
At nearly every table I've either GM'd or played at, it was expected that everyone had their own books. The only exception was, as you stated, if you were new to the game, but it wasn't long after (if you enjoyed it) that you'd pick up your own book(s).
