Results 1 - 10 of about 24,600 English pages for "grabbed the book".

In the first 10 hits there are a number of examples that illustrate this figurative, eager meaning of 'grab'.

"Always having been a long-time fan, I grabbed the book and read it in 2 days."

"He grabbed the book before I could and would not part with it until he finished."
