Query: It must be hard to write a book about someone you detest...

It must be hard to write a book about someone you detest. In fact this is just such a book. It gives little background, a few handpicked examples, and no general timeline for each of the 27000 forgeries. Yes 27000 forgeries (and while admittedly some are amateurish) the man still passed off 27000 forgeries. Certainly a little respect for his con man abilities if not for his forgery skill is due. The book is a total of 202 pages of which 50 pages are notes and appendixes.
