Can you please give me some advice on lifting books? The kinds I want are hardcovers, & I'm really struggling with that.
I can give advice on barns and noble but I don’t know much about other book places. For starters, B&N hard cover book will almost always have an RFID sticker put on a random page and sometimes on the cover of the book so you will need to flip through the book and remove it. My favorite method that I learned here on liftblr (I don’t remember who came up with it) is bringing a backpack with a few of your own book in it. Then you browse and pick out the books that you want and go sit down in the cafe area with them. You then take your books out of your back and get them kinda mixed up with the ones you want to take. While you do this, flip threw the books and remove any RFIDs while pretending to read. You should spend a decent amount of time here as is you were actually studying/reading. When you are ready to leave you can put all of the books in your backpack and leave. Another way is to just bring a structured purse and pick out the book you want, flip through it, and conceal in a blind spot. The children’s section is usually a decent place to conceal because there is rarely cameras there in my experience, but this all depends on the location. Anyways, good luck and stay safe :)
