[Rachel · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book gives a peek into the art world, which was completely foreign to me. Very interesting to learn about fakes, unknown paintings, and how the trade works. Also, I think I’m the first person to have ever read this on GoodReads, and that was just as amazing to me!
