What are the most stolen books?
Amusing that such a list exists, and that the high calibre of books being stolen indicates educated people are stealing them.
But independent booksellers, understanding that the line between profit and failure is so fine, take it personally, and sprint after thieves all the time. On the rare occasion when a shoplifter would run faster than I could, I would shout at his back as he escaped into the city: “Why don’t you steal from a fucking corporate bookstore, you asshole?” None of them ever responded. They just kept running.3 years ago
