The artists’ book How to shoplift books by David Horvitz is a guide on how to steal books. It details 80 ways in which one can steal a book, from the very practical, to the witty, imaginative and romantic. Originally published in 2013, this paperback reissue is making the sought after title available again at an affordable price (for those who don’t yet know the techniques described within) and is released in multiple languages.

This is the Australian edition, Eighty ways to steal a book.

This publication originated in 2011 as a conversation in The Classroom at Printed Matter’s NY Art Book Fair. The Classroom is a series of informal events organised by David Senior.
