“A quirky
reference treasure...this
low-priced text will
enhance any public or
high-school library shelf and supply a bored
library worker with stolen
moments of delight.”—
BooklistPresenting the Hall of Shame! Both entertaining and indiscreet, this dictionary of callous cads introduces a host of wildly colorful characters. Here are assassins and arsonists, hangmen and horse thieves, hell-raisers and highwaymen, not to mention an array of poisoners, quacks, and forgers. Meet Ronald Biggs, one of the participants of the Great Train Robbery, and Julie Amiri, a thief who found being detained by policemen...
very exciting. There’s enough degradation, depravity, and dottiness to delight anyone.
