The books were rare first editions signed by some of the most revered of modern writers. It was too good to be true. And it wasn't. The Faulkner was a phony; the Hemingway a hoax. The indictment that followed was genuine enough.

The books were rare first editions signed by some of the most revered of modern writers�Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, John Steinbeck and William Faulkner, to name only a few.
Some of the books boasted more than a mere signature. A copy of Faulkner’s Pulitzer Prize-winning “A Fable” contained a brief handwritten note from the author to British novelist Evelyn Waugh.
