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.

Its a book that Ive 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.
