The Feather Thief: Beauty, Obsession, and the Natural History Heist of the Century by Kirk Wallace Johnson
4.0
4 because it's difficult to say how much of the dramatization of the events described, that is, the internal thoughts of Edwin, are conjecture.
But otherwise, a good read.
I can say, as an artist and naturalist I have never despised a group of people more than the fly tying community based on Johnson's book. I did not expect this book to make me as angry as it did considering how niche a subject and how short a book.
But I do not regret reading it, interesting, heart breaking, and odd.
