Forger's Spell: A True Story of Vermeer, Nazis, and the Greatest Art Hoax of the Twentieth Century | 
Reading this to learn more about famous forger Van Meegeren whom is mentioned in my January book club book, The Art Forger, by B.A. Shapiro. Enjoying it so far.
pickA World War II story of a painting, deception, and the con man's ultimate mark: Nazi fanatical art collector, Hermann Goering. Engaging and a quick narrative non-fiction read make this a terrific story.
pickThe perfect book to read while waiting to hear if you've been accepted as a liver transplant candidate? This one, as it turns out.Absorbing, educational (learned so much about Vermeer), and an absolute page turner.Also, nothing at all to do with health / livers / transplants. I was accepted BTW :) .
I'm a little obsessed with the history of WW2 art looting. This book has it all, and more...art history, forgery, appraisers, provenance, and greed.
