Caught 'read' handed: Drunk breaks into bookshop and settles
down with Yellow Pages ad classic Fly Fishing by JR Hartley (Daily Mail)

---
After stealing some £1 coins, [Clive] Crittenden settled down to read the book which was immortalised in the popular 1983 Yellow Pages TV advertisement.

[Mr. Books owner Mark] Richardson added: ‘He actually said to the police he was sitting in my shop reading Fly Fishing by JR Hartley.

‘I think they thought he was taking the mickey at first but there is actually a copy right by the phone.

‘It’s a book that I’ve had in the window before because it symbolises that I can get anything for you. His choice of book adds to the bizarreness of the whole situation.’
