Maps have long exerted a special fascination - both as beautiful works of art and practical tools to navigate the world. A few years ago, map dealer E. FORBES SMILEY, spent years doubling as a MAP THIEF until he was finally caught in the act. Smiley would later confess to the theft of 97 maps valued at nearly $3 million. On the next KTEP Book Club, journalist Michael Blanding joins us to tell us about his book THE MAP THIEF, which explores Smiley's secret life.
