Money Of Their Own : The World's Great Counterfeiters (9784871871372)



This is an account of the world's unusual and ingenious counterfeiters. Murray Teigh Bloom has searched out their stories for a number of years. In this book he gives us what he considers the most bizarre, daring and incredible items from his files.

There is the case of the Yugoslavian refugee in Italy who made a fortune minting and selling British gold sovereigns but who couldn't be prosecuted for counterfeiting because such coins are no longer legal tender. There is the bizarre story of "The Man Who Almost Stole Portugal" through an incredibly ingenious plan of bank note counterfeiting. There is the case of a London Stock Exchange clerk who lived and died a wealthy man before his activities were discovered. Also included are cases such as the rare stamp counterfeiter who was so successful that stamp dealers banded together and pensioned him off; the penman so incredibly delicate and industrious in his work that he drew U.S. bills that fooled even the experts.

These and others go to make up the curious galaxy of exceptionally talented men that is presented here. The book is a natural for the student of true crime as well as for those who want something that is completely original and off-beat.

A Field Guide to Sasquatch Structures : The 50 Most Common Types in North American Forests (9781539592136)

For centuries, we have come across striking and consistent stick and tree structures in the forest, especially in areas with a long history of Sasquatch encounters. Yet until now, no field guide has existed to catalog and present these remarkable formations for quick and easy reference. Sasquatch is a higher primate (like us) with a large brain, capable hands, and plenty of time to use them. As our evolutionary next of kin, this species, too, naturally manipulates its environment in distinctive and impressive ways. But instead of building cities, universities, machines, or writing books, symphonies, or computer code, they simply express their creative intelligence otherwise. Using this valuable resource-graced with Zoe Christiansen's pen-and-ink illustrations-you'll be equipped to recognize characteristic themes and variations with a trained eye. It's your key to a higher level of insight into the mind and personality of these fellow humans. ...
