Received an advance copy of this book detailing the forgery ring that thrived in this hobby during the mid-late 1990s. Fascinating stuff.

    Got the book as a christmas gift. It reads like a soap opera except it is real and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I am half way through and was never aware of that many fakes out there. These guys were good forgers...until they got caught.....Spazzy

    I didn't see the story. I like the site though. Put it in my favorites. I liked the article about Field of Dreams in Vegas since I'm moving there. I'm really interested in picking the book up.Thanks
