Put an open book inside a glass box with a simple manual latch - something
that can be opened without requiring a key or a combination - holding
the lid shut. Explain to people that they're free to read the book,
but working the latch is a felony. (We can't let you open the latch to
turn the page because then you might steal the book...)
