Book report: "Museum of the Missing: A History of Art Theft"!! (Arts!!) Actually, I lied - this isn't a book report cause I've only read like 15 pages of this book. But - it's a start right?? Seriously though, this was one of those books I was quite looking forward to starting - what a cool topic right? All (or most) of the largest art thefts in history. I don't read much, if any, fiction so books revolving around the 'romantic' crimes such as these always grab me. Chuck and I talked a while back - and didn't I make a post?? - about art theft and how weird it is. It's different than bank robbery, jewelry theft, etc in that the product stolen immediately becomes worthless in the public market as its an obvious one-of-one and reported stolen - but, where it gets interesting, is the private market of truly obsessed collectors who don't mind owning a piece of stolen art that basically can't be shown to anyone again ever, you know? Anyway, I scored the book on eBay super cheap - I've skimmed through quite a bit of it past the first 15 pages, ha, and it's quite good. > Link to more information > Date Posted: July 20 2009 > Posted By: BENJAMIN
