"Highly recommended for all libraries that house collections of valuable books and . . . for devotees of truce crime stories."TECHnicalities
"McDade offers an engrossing, fast-paced, detailed account of Robert Kindreds systematic, brazen removal of thousands of illustrations of animals, plants, and historical events from mostly 19th-century books and periodicals in academic libraries. Highly recommended."Choice
"McDade has delivered a book that should be of great interest to bibliophiles everywhere, particularly those guardians of collections who too often have to deal with the likes of Kindred and his ilk."Fine Books & Collections
"Book lovers, librarians, and crime fans alike will enjoy this detailed story."Library Journal
McDades account of Robert Kindreds book-pillaging spree in university libraries across the United States is a well-told narrative that reads like an Elmore Leonard novel. McDades dramatic tale of book theft, mutilation, and cultural destruction is firmly grounded in archival sources, field research, and interviews and will appeal to a wide range of readers."Mark Rose, professor emeritus of English, University of California, Santa Barbara
