"VIENNA: A 16th-century book was stolen from an exhibition in a castle in Upper Austria, but the crime went unnoticed for days because the thieves left behind another book, the police said Monday."
"The 1532 book, "Astronomicum Caesareum" by Petrus Apianus, disappeared from Peuerbach Castle between Aug. 23 and Aug. 26, when a guide discovered it was missing, the police said."
