The Man Who Loved Books Too Much - Allison Hoover Bartlett

This book is basically an expanded magazine story that is not worth reading. I won't bother posting an excerpt since I do not recommend spending your time on this one. It sounded like an intriguing detective story that would also shed light on the world of rare book collectors. Unfortunately, the central character is an identity thief who uses others credit card to steal books. He has no redeeming qualities and not someone I can imagine anyone wanting to learn about. The author's ethics are as questionable as the thief's as she allows the crimes to continue with the justification that she has no legal duty to report the thief.
