Most Stolen Books

"Unlike surreptitiously lifting gummy bears from Walmart, the act of stealing a book reveals a lot about the character, or at least the literary tastes, of the thief. I asked indie bookstores to tell us about their most stolen books." (Electric Lit, 2017)
These are books that were either specifically mentioned or illustrated in the source article. I recommend reading the latter if you wish to be both amused and perplexed.
