Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Forgers Spell A True Story of Vermeer Nazis & the Greatest Art Hoax of the Twentieth Century

This is an amazing book! It is non fiction that reads like a novel. The author pulls together the the history of Hitler and Goering's grasping desire for art that overides, in Goerings case, the needs of his nation. It is the story of a very canney forger whose failure as an artist leads him to produce forgeries that has the art critics buzzing with excitement. The psychology of the forger is what is so gripping here, he does not reproduce the works of Vermeer as much as suggest a Vermeer; the egos of the art experts do all the rest. For history for artwork and just a really good read, don't miss this one!

I couldn't agree more with the first commenter. I loved the first book but this book bogged down and was boring until the last third, then it went from slow to light speed;good enough to renew my desire to order the rest of the series, from Powells of course! I like the historical background but this was overkill.
