Synopses & Reviews
In Warmly Inscribed, the Goldstones investigate one of the dirty secrets in the world of book collecting -- forgeries. The tale of the New England forger is one that rocked the antiquarian book world in the late 1990s, with its effects still being felt -- and with forged copies still on the market! The Goldstones not only reveal how the forger managed to fool collectors, but also how many booksellers chose to turn a blind eye to the suspicious books. With their typically warm and insightful style, the Goldstones both inform and entertain in their latest excursion into the "divine madness" that is book collecting.
