Cover photographs: Bookshelf - James Strachan/Getty Images. Shadow - Brad Wilson/Getty Images. FROM THE PUBLISHER - What would you do for the love of a good book For John Charles Gilkey the answer is: go to prison. Unrepentant book thief Gilkey has stolen a fortune in rare books from around the country. Yet unlike most thieves who steal for profit Gilkey steals for love - the love of books. Perhaps equally obsessive is Ken Sanders the self-appointed �bibliodick� driven to catch him. Following this eccentric cat-and-mouse chase with a mixture of suspense insight and humor Allison Hoover Bartlett plunges the reader deep into a rich world of fanatical book lust and considers what it is that makes some people willing to stop at nothing to possess the titles they love. �Tautly written wry and thoroughly compelling. Bartlett is an appealing storyteller who becomes more personally entangled in her narrative than she had wished which adds to the drama.� - Los Angeles Times. �A compelling read for anybody who loves a good story.� � San Francisco Chronicle. �Skillfully composed. Bartlett offers an insightful look at the psychology of the most eccentric of criminals in this swift entertaining volume about what happens when a love of books takes a sinister turn.� - The Associated Press. �Both a galloping foray into the wonky world of the rare-hook market and a chronicle of modern crime and punishment. A quixotic and captivating true-crime narrative.� - The Washington Times. �Bartlett is a meticulous thorough reporter nearly obsessed herself. Her book is a wonderful study of a peculiar kind of crime and a strange obsession.� - Minneapolis Star Tribune. inventory #40967 ISBN: 9781594484810. paperback

Summary: 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 him. Rare-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.

With a mixture of suspense insight and humor she has woven this entertaining cat-and-mouse chase into a narrative that not only reveals exactly how Gilkey pulled off his dirtiest crimes where he stashed the loot and how Sanders ultimately caught him but also explores the romance of books the lure to collect them and the temptation to steal them. Immersing the reader in a rich wide world of literary obsession Bartlett looks at the history of book passion collection and theft through the ages to examine the craving that makes some people willing to stop at nothing to possess the books they love.
