hard cover book

I read Hebborn's "The Art Forger's Handbook" first. This work, a memoir, could have been more incisive. It seemed that Hebborn was hedging his bets. Yet, he may well have been walking a legal tightrope, if he did indeed, place so much of his work on the art market and allow it to be attributed to old masters, even though he was not technically committing a crime. Just as there are lies by omission, surely there are thefts by the same tactic.
