After 38 Years Book Found Back on the Shelf

Another missing book report from Ananova. The book last checked out in 1963 was found back on the shelf by library staff while \”tidying up.\” Although the fine would be around 1,300 pounds, the book cost 121/2 pence in its day. If Derbyshire librarians tidy up as infrequently as I do, the book could very well have been returned 30 years ago. With all the stories about really overdue library books, one wonders what other books are still checked-out from the previous century.
