“The Fortsas Bibliohoax, or how a Belgian collector fooled book lovers for the fun of it”
I wrote this article for Biblio.com‘s Book Collecting blog a few months ago now, but I only just found out that it was published. The Fortsas Bibliohoax, an elaborate prank perpetrated by a mid-nineteenth century book lover, is a hilarious story that was so much fun to research. It’s a perfect example of truth sometimes being stranger (and cooler) than fiction, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing about it.
What a marvellous story!
I read it on their site without noticing your name! Serendipity.
