According to Publishers Weekly, the books that are stolen the most from bookstores are the same across the country. They are:
- anything by Charles Bukowski tops the list
- anything by William S. Burrows
- On the Road by Jack Kerouac
- The New York Trilogy by Paul Aster
- anything by Martin Amis
Interestingly, public libraries report that the most stolen books are how-to books, the Bible, and anything to do with witchcraft, the occult, UFOs, or astrology.

I thought so. I’ll be sure to keep those books behind the counter in my bookstore from now on. Luckily, I don’t have much of a shoplifting problem.

I do. I learned the hard way years ago when someone walked out with all of my Stephen King 1st editions. They weren’t worth that much but I imagine they thought they’d hit the mother lode.

Looking back, I should have checked with the other used bookstores in town to see if they tried to sell them to them but it didn’t occur to me at the time.
