Following the enquiry for information on library theft, I thought this
might interest people - printed on an issue label pocket in the
back of a book we've just acquired:
"Much thought, effort and expense have gone into the writing,
publishing and preparing of this book. Return it to your library on
time and in good condition so that others may enjoy it. If you wish
to add a copy to your personal library, it probably is available at
your local bookstore. Your Salt Lake City Public Library."
NB the book was officially deaccessioned before we bought it!
And how nice to give credit to authors, publishers and the ability of
the book trade to obtain any book on demand!
