Surprising Mail: A library in Paisley, Scotland, found a cookbook—more than 50 years after it was picked up from there.
Along with a 20-pound note and a letter of apology because the withdrawal was so long, someone anonymously sent it to the Paisley Central Library, as reported by the PA news agency. “I was a little surprised when I opened the padded envelope and saw what was inside,” said Linda Flynn of the tabloid Lending Library. “daily Record”. It is rare for a book to be returned after so many years of overdue.
The book “Indian Cookery by Mrs. Balbir Singh” is said to have been borrowed in 1968. However, it is not clear who took him with him at that time. “You can tell the book has been used a lot, and some marks on the pages suggest that someone has had some good dinners with it,” Flynn said.
“Unfortunately this book is not in a condition in which we can put it back on our shelves,” Flynn told the Daily Record. However, it has been kept in a “safe place”. Since Library Currently Too Late does not charge any fees for books, with £20 to be donated to a good cause.
