Shoplifters at book stores may be thieves who want the book, or thieves who want to make money by selling the book.

Disaffected young white males may be over-represented among thieves who steal for reasons other than the book's immediate resale value. In addition to shoplifting, book stores suffer from pilfering by shipping personnel and from burglary (theft that happens while the store is closed). Book stores also are victimized by thefts of non-book merchandise and other items. (en)
