Strange Tales of Amazing Frauds

By Henry Thomas and Dana Lee Thomas. "More fantastic than fiction -- true stories of million-dollar hoaxes that made the world's headlines." Cases include Highgate Tomb, Vidocq's last case, and others. This little first is not in great shape, but it's 70+ years old, and it's still readable (or displayable) if you're mindful, although the whole Permabooks statement of purpose on the back cover is a bit ironic. The spine's a bit loose, and was repaired by a previous owner with scotch tape; there's heavy page toning, and damage to the covers. Have a look at the pictures (which include the ToC) and see if you're interested in adopting this "senior book."
