CAVEAT EMPTOR : THE SECRET LIFE OF AN AMERICAN FORGER
by Ken Perenyi

In Latin the phrase caveat emptor means "let the buyer beware." I would say the definition for this book is "let the reader beware."
Ken Perenyi was an art forger for over forty years and was never caught. This is his story. Alas, I didn't get any further than page sixteen. The writing is horrible and juvenile. It probably would have been much better if somebody else had written about him and had the writer's touch.
It's pretty dismal.
Not recommended.
