OBERLIN, Ohio A book by the 16th century
astronomer Copernicus was stolen from a Chicago
library.
In Los Angeles, a thief went after the work of a
different kind of star-gazer: A draft of George
Lucas' "Star Wars" vanished from a library at the
University of California.
Valuable books and documents have been disap
pearing from American libraries at a faster and
faster rate in recent years, some librarians say.

mannered image to get tough on theft.
"We're mobilizing and it's war," Katharine {yes
Leab, editor of American Book Prices Current, said
at a conference here on library theft. She estimated
the value of stolen books and manuscripts "can
easily get up to $5O million a year in this country
alone."
Mrs. Leab was one of about 40 people at the two
day conference at Oberlin College, where book thief
James R. Shinn was arrested in a celebrated case
two years ago.
Shinn, now serving two consecutive 10-year
terms in federal prison for transporting $lOO,OOO
worth of stolen rare books across state lines, was
caught after William Moffett, Oberlin's director of
