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 Malayalam edition.

The Malayalam translation makes the book available to potentially 38 million speakers, mostly located in the Kerala region in the south of India. In collaboration with our new friends from Bangalore, Nihaal, who also runs Reliable Copy organized the translation by Kadamboor Neeraj and co-published it with their imprint Press Works. Thattalankara Jeeja, who proofread it, asked Neeraj, "Why must you struggle so much, shall I just buy the book for you?"

Das Künstlerbuch „How to shoplift books“ von David Horvitz versteht sich als Anleitung zum Bücherklauen. Mal praktisch, mal witzig, mal phantasievoll, mal romantisch, beschreibt das Buch 80 verschiedene Möglichkeiten ein Buch zu stehlen. Ursprünglich 2013 veröffentlicht, macht diese Taschenbuch-Neuauflage den begehrten Titel zu einem erschwinglichen Preis wieder verfügbar (für diejenigen, die die darin beschriebenen Techniken noch nicht kennen) und erscheint in mehreren Sprachen.

Dies ist die Malayalam Ausgabe.
