“Hide the book inside a fake rock.”
“Cook up some garlic in olive oil in the store. Exit with the book while everyone is caught in the ecstasy of the aroma.”
“Fill a bag with the books you want. Make it heavier than you can carry. Ask an employee to help you carry it outside.”
“Smash a hole in the store’s window. Throw the book through the hole.”
