What the hell is going on?

Article Abstract:

Books from the library in the picturesque market town of Ledbury, England, have been targeted by someone who corrects spelling and grammatical mistakes, as well as crossing out swear words and sexual references. This has been found particularly frequently in detective novels and thrillers. Library users have become rather frustrated, stating that this person must be prudish and pedantic. Library staff feel that they cannot identify the culprit, as it is not possible to check each book as it is returned.
