Ex Libris

Hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of rare books have been
disappearing across America since the late 90s, and haven't
resurfaced in the marketplace. They've just vanished, never to be
seen again. But unlike most thieves, this thief is motivated by
something more abstract and romantic than money, which makes him
extremely difficult to catch.  Today, we have the story of
John Charles Gilkey. Say hello on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
