Some of you may have read this article (some of you closer to the publishing world may have known about it elsewhere). I thought this was discussed on this forum but I couldn't find the thread. Note that the article is from last year, but the url has been updated to reflect recent developments: https://www.vulture.com/2022/01/stealing-books-before-release-mystery.html Apparently the individual was recently caught. Not sure how, or if he is same the suspect mentioned in the vulture.com article (some things fit, some don't). I feel sorry for the original suspect, if it's not him. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10378263/Simon-Schuster-employee-pleads-not-guilty-stealing-manuscripts.html
