Times UK : Top ten most stolen books (and most borrowed from libraries too).
Two more lists to add to the collection : The Times reveals Britain's Top 10 most stolen books, and on a less illicit note, the Top 10 most borrowed from libraries.
Yes, the latest Harry Potter is on both lists. But it's not Britain's most stolen book. Terry Pratchett is the most-stolen author. And the thieves come in some unexpected clothing. Quote:

That is fascinating! When I worked at the bookstore, we had big problems with sex books and manga.

I even explained to one of the librarians how easy it was to circumvent; but they're response was that there were aspects to it they couldn't divulge, and it was more robust than it appeared. So I decided to put it to the test - I still have the book. |

According to the manager of my local B&N, the most stolen book from their shelves is the Bible.

I'm sorry .... but, the Ordnance Survey maps for Exmoor are the second most stolen book?? If you guys don't watch it, the UK is going to get a reputation for being stodgy.
