Review: The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: The True Story of a Thief, a Detective, and a World of Literary Obsession

The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: The True Story of a Thief, a Detective, and a World of Literary Obsession The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: The True Story of a Thief, a Detective, and a World of Literary Obsession by Allison Hoover Bartlett
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I read a lot of true crime and I guess I should be concerned about how little much of man's-inhumanity-to man bothers me. That thought struck me because I was so bothered by how callously this man stole expensive books and endangered the shaky financial prospects of so many dealers and independent book stores. Has this man no conscience!? Mere prison time was not enough, he should be " poisoned, stabbed, shot, hung, stretched, disembowled, drawn and quartered."
