In fact, after it happened a friend picked one of the expensive books and asked me if he if he dared give it to them. I emphatically told him NO!<br /><br />It wasn't just this one incident that got to me though. There have een so many I've lost count. Both the guy mentioned above and I have had on separate occasions to actually chase down people walking out with not only our books, but our canvas bags as well! FOL sales are not for the faint of heart.tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369932877292375866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30393978.post-28449015394354989162010-11-07T05:28:35.119-05:002010-11-07T05:28:35.119-05:00Tess, I am sorry about your book.

Hang on to it for dear life and pay for it right away and stick it in YOUR bag, with a receipt and continue shopping. Thievery is thievery...sorry this happened. <br /><br />That Shakespeare sounds fascinating though. Glad you found it. Enjoy this day.

Luckily (unluckily) for me our local library sells to better world books so there isn't really any reason to go any longer. Give me a good estate sale any day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333382268292453140noreply@blogger.com
