Speaker:
Professor Travis McDade, Curator of Rare Books at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Mr. McDade is an expert on crimes against rare books and has authored several books himself. He will be discussing his new book, Thieves of Book Row.

In the early afternoon of January 9th, 1931, an itinerant man from Pinetown, North Carolina, shivering in the New York winter, walked up the long steps of the Fifth Avenue entrance to the New York Public Library. It was a trip he’d made a dozen times in as many days and his plan was the same: get warm, then request from the library’s rare book collection a few of its treasures. But unlike his earlier visits, these books wouldn’t be returning to the stacks.

Travis McDade’s second work of nonfiction, published by Oxford University Press in May 2013, is the story of a gang of a book thieves looting Depression-era east coast libraries and selling these wares in Manhattan. One particular theft, and its subsequent investigation, brought the gang down.
