"Principia Mathematica" stolen

The BBC is reporting that a 1st edition of Sir Isaac Newton's "Principia Mathematica" (the book in which he describes his theory of gravity, among other physics principles for which he's famous) was stolen from a Russian library.

Information may want to be free, as the saying goes, but apparently the black market has other ideas.
