American returns book to library ... 99 years late!!!

An overdue book has been returned to an American library - 99 years late.

It was handed in to the library at New Bedford, Massachusetts, this week by 75-year-old Stanley Dudek.

The library has waived the one-cent-a-day fine on the book, which would have amounted to $363, about £230.

'My blood pressure will probably go down now,' Mr Dudek told the Boston Globe.

The book, 'Facts I Ought to Know About the Government of My Country', was found among Mr Dudek's mother's belongings after she died 10 years ago. More...
