BPL overdue report
Adam Funk
Dozens of people return overdue books to the Boston Public Library
every day. Probably only one person, however, has ever walked in
holding a book that had been missing for 80 years. Please salute
Julie Geissler, the New Hampshire resident who stunned library
staff members by showing up unannounced one day in 2001 to return a
rare first-edition copy of Charles Darwin’s "On the Origin of
Species," one of the most famous books ever written.

Looks like Mr. Saklad has finally gotten BPL to post stuff
in public!

I'm betting it was outweighed by the appreciation in the sale price of
the book...

There's no telling where the money went.

if they're clever, they'd get her to insure it for the next 80 years.

If you don't know what you're doing in C, you get a compiler error
or a segfault. If you don't know what you're doing in PHP, you call
it phpBB.
