 | How does one steal more than 300 rare books and documents from a room under constant surveillance? Probably slowly, over a long period of time – like other infamous book heists. Carnegie Library officials say detectives have suspects in the theft of 314 rare books, maps, and folios. The items were taken from a restricted area of the main library in Oakland. The person previously responsible for the collection is no longer employed. One of the missing books is a 1687 first edition of Isaac Newton's "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica". A copy sold for $3.7 million in 2016. |  |
