@koolkopper This reminds me of when I shipped my car from the US to NGN. All the items in the car were stolen except the bag containing the books.

@koolkopper He must have read "Book of Thieves"

@koolkopper @oryxspioenkop I would love to burn those

@koolkopper Back in the days Baghdad was like the magnet. Some kind of middle East Constantinople.

@koolkopper I was in London during the summer riots back in 2011 . In boroughs like Hackey and Brixton, all shops were looted except the book stores 🥲.

@koolkopper But what about the other book traders.

@koolkopper @kiptw I am reminded of the Roger Zelazny quote, from one of his Amber novels, that "no one steals books except for your friends"

@koolkopper Happened to me. Some thieves opened my car and stole some stuff, but left only one thing, a book.

@koolkopper Books apparently have no value 😂

@koolkopper Burası kesinlikle tam benlik yer, eski kitaplar.. Keşke kitapları yerden biraz yüksekte bir yapının üzerine koysalardı

@koolkopper Sort by street value

@koolkopper What if the thieves steal them to resell?

@koolkopper because climate is so dry also

@koolkopper زمانہ قدیم سے علم و دانش کا مرکز علم کی ابتدا بھی بغدادی قاعدے سے شروع کی تھی ھلاکو کی ہلاکتیں اور عظیم الشان لائبریریوں کا جلانا بھی اس شھر علم و ادب کو ماند نہ کر سکا

@koolkopper @oryxspioenkop Meh, what about stealing and then selling them? Those who steal pictures from museums are rarely interested in art.

@koolkopper @ariellewass You'd be the only thief :)

@koolkopper What will they do if a book by #SalmanRashdi is in this stack ?

@koolkopper I agree. It is the only thing in the world that thieves don’t want. I have always said so too.

@koolkopper @niazbeen93 da kho wai chi reader ghla na kai 😅
