For the Love of Books
Sunday, November 15, 2009 1:00 PM
- Allison Hoover Bartlett, Author
Author Allison Bartlett will discuss her new book, The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: The True Story of a Thief, a Detective, and a World of Literary Obsession (Riverhead Books, September 2009). Ms. Bartlett exposes the profound role books play in all of our lives, the reverence in which these everyday objects are still held, and the craving that makes some people willing to stop at nothing to possess the books they love. Her book stars Ken Sanders as the biblio-detective on the case of John Charles Gilkey, noted book thief.
