Man Who Loved Books Too Much, The: The True Story of a Thief, a
Detective, and a World of Literary Obsession [Paperback]
Allison Hoover Bartlett (Author)
Unrepentant book thief John Charles Gilkey has stolen a fortune in rare
books from around the US. Yet unlike most thieves who steal for profit,
Gilkey steals for love - the love of books. Perhaps equally obsesssed is
Ken Sanders, the self-appointed 'bibliodick' who's driven to catch him.
Following this eccentric cat-and-mouse chase with a mixture of suspense,
insight and humour, Allison Hoover Bartlett plunges the reader into a a
rich world of fanatical book lust and considers what it is that makes
some people stop at nothing to possess the titles they love.
