Extra, extra - read all about ‘em! A couple other releases, with “’nuff said” titles, defy description, but for totally different reasons. First up is Michelle Ann Abate’s Tomboys: A Literary and Cultural History - a single subject title that's a sure bet not to be represented in your bookcase, or offered as a seminar at too many universities. Then a together-again-for-the-first-time mix-and-match makes Edward Dolnick’s The Forger's Spell: A True Story of Vermeer, Nazis, and the Greatest Art Hoax of the Twentieth Century a book you’re at least going to pick up and peruse.
