Journalist ALLISON HOOVER-BARTLETT investigated the world of rare book collecting, getting to know several book dealers and John Charles Gilkey, the thief who stole from them. Bartlett's book "The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: The True Story of a Thief, a Detective, and a World of Literary Obsession" ties their stories together, and offers a glimpse into the exclusive world of book collectors.
In this week's installment of our ongoing series THIS I BELIEVE, Bob talks with executive director DAN GEDIMAN about the essay from William O. Douglas. He was an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1939 to 1975. As a boy, he hiked the Cascade Mountains near his home in Washington to strengthen legs weakened by polio. Douglas' prolific career on the bench was marked by controversy and two attempts to impeach him.
Bob Edwards Weekend is a two-hour interview showcase, in which celebrated host Bob Edwards highlights the life and work of interesting people, from newsmakers, historians, and authors to artists, actors, and regular folks too.
