No, this is the first I had heard of it...d**n, d**n, D**N!!!  Einar and I
keep talking about how, one day when we're in good financial shape, we want
to take a vacation in the British Isles and Scandinavia.  We probably
would've put this place on our list of must-see libraries and museums.  I am
gathering, from your post, that the entire place is now a smoking ruin, that
very little, if anything was saved.  

I hope the Swedish police catch the creep(s)...
