The Man Who Loved Books Too Much by Allison Hoover Bartlett
In the tradition of The Orchid Thief, a compelling narrative set within the strange and genteel world of rare-book collecting- the true story of an infamous book thief, his victims, and the man determined to catch himRare-book theft is even more widespread than fine-art theft. Most thieves, of course, steal for profit. John Charles Gilkey steals purely for the love of books. In an attempt to understand him better, journalist Allison Hoover Bartlett plunged herself into the world of book lust and discovered just how dangerous it can be.
