Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's the instructions for using the Holy Hand Grenade in "Monty Python's Holy Grail."
Book of Armaments, Chapter 4, verse 3.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

What's the argument behind this? It seems like such a huge waste. Is it just a matter of nobody being willing to store them?
Yeah, it's because of storage issues and the cost of shipping boxloads of mass market books back. Of course, it doesn't always make sense because often we'll have a book due out, strip it, then either a customer asks us to order it, or we'll get it back in as part of a regular shipment. I guess they're cheap enough to produce that they can be disposed of so easily.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
When I worked at Waldenbooks, if we tried to take home a stripped book and read it, then toss it out at home, we'd be fired. Apparently, some dipshit did that, but instead of tossing it, he sold it at a used book store, and it got traced back to him, causing the publisher to raise holy hell. Waldens cracked down on the practice after that. Same thing (stripping) happens to old issues of magazines, too.
Worst time in working for the company was when I shut down a store, and we had to strip every single massmarket paperback left in the store after it closed. Must have been more than 5000 books. At least we got the district manager to agree to them being sent to a recycling plant instead of directly to the dumpster.
