"McDade tells the story of Robert Kindred, an art dealer who brazenly stole thousands of valuable antique prints from academic libraries during a cross-country crime spree in 1980. Torn from their bindings combines elements of true crime and legal history with the history of scientific illustrations and the development of archives and libraries to weave a narrative of the thefts and their legal aftermath together with the story of the etchings, engravings, and lithographs that were their primary victims"--Provided by publisher.
