Review of 'The map thief : the gripping story of an esteemed rare-map dealer who made millions stealing priceless maps' on 'Goodreads'

The story of map dealer turned map thief Edward Forbes Smiley, intertwined with much general information about the history of maps and the world of map collections. Well told and well researched, though at times a bit dry. If maps interest you at all this is definitely a book for you. If not, your mileage may vary. I found it interesting, but wouldn't reread.
