PROGRAM UPDATE: Richard Fidler will no longer be appearing in this event.
One hundred years ago, a New York bookseller committed a crime against history - he broke up the world’s grandest book, the Gutenberg Bible, and sold it off in individual pages. This is the story of an Australian man’s hunt for those fragments, and his family’s debt to an act of literary vandalism. Join author Michael Visontay and Geordie Williamson for a bookish detective story.
