S0d's law one of the patients is writing a PhD on the history of Albanian sewage works and that's the one book he's been looking for that the university library couldn't obtain.....

Friday afternoon alternative:
1. Find the dullest-sounding textbook you can (you know, 'A Heterodox Macroeconomic Analysis of the Implementation of the Albanian Sewerage System,1893-1904', that sort of thing...) that's the same size as your patient information book and has a dust jacket.
2. Remove the dust jacket.
3. Add the dust jacket to your patient information book.
4. Marvel as the patient information book becomes immediately immune from theft.
Obviously, though, it would then need your consultant to refer her patients to it rather than relying on their reading it proactively... ;-)

The medieval solution worked because of the heavy leather bindings used, to which it was possible to attach a block clasp to which the chain would be fixed. I doubt it would work on modern flimsy bindings.
No solution will be completely secure; but perhaps tying it to lectern with string/tape down the gutter would discourage people from removing it.

Hi
I don't know the answer to this question or even where to start, so I though I'd ask if anyone else has experience of this.
One of my consultants has a patient information book (an actual book with a spine) that she wants to put in the waiting room outside her clinic. However, she is afraid it will get stolen. She wants to know therefore, how you would go about putting a chain on a book (I guess like in the medieval chained libraries) to keep it safely with us but readable.
Has anyone else done this? Or knows how to do this? I'm also going to contact LIS-RAREBOOKS but I wondered if anyone had had experience of this? Or could suggest who to go to?
Many thanks,
Best,
Genny
