@mahound9 That's wonderful! Perhaps it is only an American crime. A lot of America's persona is justly deserved. We have free libraries and no one seems to care. I worked for a large corporation called Borders Books, now defunct. I tried to convince the manager of my store to allow me to donate the books to charity, but he was instructed that such a charitable deed was considered theft. My girlfriend complains that I read too much. But then she buys me books herself.

@chopin65 There's still a book store near where I live that sells 'stripped' books, for next to nothing.

@salvadormarley Don't you have anything more intelligent & constructive to say? Sounds like hate speech towards the English from a superior feeling lout.

Poor old Eric... George ... trying so hard to rid himself of his snobbishness and then immediately displaying it when he couldn't afford a posh ring - "except perhaps a Woolworth's one." But you have to give him full marks for trying.

Right out of the British Book of Smiles! ; )

He's right about the bookstore. I would have put it another way, however. He is almost lugubrious in his description of the customer and the product. What was sickening to me was the destruction of books that went on. If a book didn't sell, and it was a mass market (a paper back) we had strict instructions to tear the cover off them and toss out the rest of the book! We mailed in the stripped cover for credit. Destroying books makes me sad.

Bravo BBC! I know Orwell didn't want a biography to be made on his life but this is just brilliant!
