The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: The True Story of a Thief, a Detective, and a World of Literary Obsession (Thorndike Large Print Crime Scene) - Hardcover

Unrepentant book thief John Charles 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. A lifelong rare book collector turned amateur detective Sanders will stop at nothing to catch the thief plaguing his trade.
