The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Journalist Allison Hoover Bartlett won national attention—and inclusion in Best American Crime Reporting 2007—for work on the case of John Charles Gilkey, whose thefts earned him conviction and prison time. The object of his thievery? Books. In The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: The True Story of a Thief, a Detective, and a World of Literary Obsession (Riverhead, new in paper), Allison Hoover Bartlett tells this story with all the suspense of the best literary thriller. This book has been a word-of-mouth hit since first being published last year. "The Man Who Loved Books Too Much is the enthralling account of a gently mad con artist and his fraudulent credit card scams, but it's also a meditation on the urge to collect, and a terrific introduction to the close-knit, swashbuckling world of antiquarian book dealers." - Michael Dirda.
