>Dear all,
>My name is Korobtseva Ekaterina. I am from Sociology Department, Oxford
>University. I am part of a research group, which is currently working on a
>question of book theft. We are particularly interested whether there are
>specific categories of books, such as theology books for example, that are
>stolen more often and if there are, then why could it possibly happen.
>We would be very grateful for any anecdotal evidence on this topic, and
>will be exceptionally happy to get any real statistical data.
