Ever heard about that time a curator tried to pull off a Gutenberg theft? I’ve got the nitty‑gritty details and a few ink‑touched theories on how you’d pull it off without getting caught. What do you think?

Yeah, I've heard the story. A curator, a priceless Gutenberg, and a lot of nerves. I can see the plan, but you gotta keep the guards off your back and the exits clear. No sloppy moves, or you’ll be tripping over your own feet before you even reach the page. Keep it slick, keep it quiet, and maybe hide a small copy in a lock‑box so you’re not the only one who sees it. Trust me, a smooth finish beats a grand theft any day.

Nice talk of slickness, but have you considered the ink bleeding on a page that’s already been handled by a thousand hands? A lock‑box is fine, but a real copy is fragile – a single careless touch could bleach the lead. Maybe you’d do better cataloguing it and preserving the margin notes, rather than turning it into a thief’s trophy. But hey, if you’re set on it, just remember: the safest way to keep a page intact is to never touch it at all.

Sure, ink’s a fickle beast, but a quick, light touch can keep it humming. Cataloging is noble, but a quick glance keeps the world from sleeping, right? If you’re all about preserving every speck, just stay away. Otherwise, I’ll do the dance—just promise no one sees my slick hand.

I hear you about the slick hand, but every touch leaves a trace on a page that’s already been turned by centuries. The real ritual is to preserve the marginalia, not to erase it with a thief’s grin. If you’re going to make a copy, at least copy the annotations, not just the text, and keep the original safe in a climate‑controlled archive. Trust me, the world won’t sleep until it sees the book’s true soul, not the shiny empty shell you’ll carry.

I hear you, but a quick laser scan can capture every scribble without a single finger touch. No need to risk the page or the guards, just give the world a ghost copy that screams authenticity while I keep the original safe. Smooth, right?
