Woman returns book missing from Boston library for 80 years

Last week, a young woman went to the Boston Public Library to return an 1859 first edition of Charles Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection,” a book that has been missing from the library for at least 80 years. A copy of it recently went for almost $72,000 at a Christie’s auction.
