Great Hoaxes & Famous Imposters: Forgers, Swindlers, Robbers and Con Artists Throughout History by Carlson Wade, 239 pages

This was a very well written and intriguing look at people who managed to fake their way through life and into people's wallets. I hadn't heard of most of these con artists and was completely entertained throughout the book. I was especially amused by the guy who almost became king of Arizona. That was an amazing scam.
