I went to the local library a while back (about 40 years ago) and looked for this book in the card catalog. There was a notation on the card that I had never seen before. It read, "In locked case".
I went to the librarian, asked about the book, and she immediately turned to a case behind her and checked out the book to me. Mentioning that I had never seen this kind of notation on a book before, I asked why it was in a locked case.
"This is one of the books that people steal.", was her reply.
My favorite part in here is where it says something like "As deeply as sorrow has grooved your soul, that's how much room you have for joy."
Awesome book for the deep reader.
