Stephen Blumberg and His Stolen Books

In an unusual case, Stephen C. Blumberg was today given a six-year prison 1  sentence for the theft of rare books from libraries and universities. At his 2 trial he was found 3 guilty of stealing more than 20,000 books from 327 different places. In total, the books were worth about 20 million, making this the largest 4 crime of its kind in American 5 history.

Like many book 6 thieves, Blumberg was also a book lover. According to a friend, he didn't go to bed at night but instead read books until morning, falling asleep in his chair for a few 7 minutes at a time, then waking up to ontinue reading. He did not 8 sell any of the books that he had 9 stolen but stored them tidily in his 17-room home in Ottumwa, iowa. His ambition, according the greatest rare-to his friend, was to 10become book thief of the century.
