Summary:
"When trickery encounters credulity, spectacular things happen: we call them swindles. In this volume, we present 40 cases, from the nineteenth century to the present. Some of these are famous, some of these less famous, and many are elegant. But almost always, the schemes discussed here are works of genius."--Jacket.
