The story of a guy who stole a large number of rare books and manuscripts from Columbia University, written by a librarian/lawyer. He went into way too much legal minutiae for my tastes (lines of argument at the trial, a whole chapter on the history of sentencing guidelines).

I enjoyed parts of this book. There is a large chapter on the laws relating to book crimes and the changes to the justice system that Daniel Spiegleman's crimes induced. It is informative, a little boring, and had several grammatical errors.
