If they put out six copies of New York Trilogy that month and two were stolen is that the same as another book that had two copies put out and both copies stolen?
The Barnes & Noble in downtown Seattle has a bunch of books that you have to ask for because they are stolen so often. I know that all the Chuck Palahniuk books are off the shelves. There are several more, but I can't remember which ones.
I'm surprised at Gatsby because it is boring. I'm trying to imagine a world where there are underworld book hawkers, selling copies of Gatsby on the cheap to down and out high schoolers.
When I worked at a bookstore, we never seemed to have anything related to nursing left on the shelf. Particularly the more expensive dictionaries and the like.
@7 if memory serves, there weren't any murakami novels on the shelves at the downtown barnes and noble for quite some time. i always chalked this up to poor taste, but maybe they were favorites of local shoplifters too?
#11 makes an excellent point. The fact that they would risk stealing a book that is available online for free suggests that they have a teacher expecting them to show up in class with an actual print copy.
