Welcome to Day 4 of Armchair BEA
For those of us who are unable to attend Book Expo America in New York this week, there is Armchair BEA, an online networking event for bloggers worldwide.
Today is the highly anticipated Giveaway Day, a favorite from past years. Bloggers host a giveaway on their own site and post a link on Armchair BEA.

The Map Thief, by Michael Blanding, is true crime at its finest, full of twists and turns, historical details, and the kind of writing that will have you frantically turning the pages. The book releases today and, courtesy of the publisher, I have one copy to giveaway to a reader with a US address.
About the Book
The Map Thief
by Michael Blanding
Genre: True Crime
Publisher: Gotham Books
Publish Date: May 29, 2014
The story of an infamous crime, a revered map dealer with an unsavory secret, and the ruthless subculture that consumed him.
Maps have long exerted a special fascination on viewers—both as beautiful works of art and as practical tools to navigate the world. But to those who collect them, the map trade can be a cutthroat business, inhabited by quirky and sometimes disreputable characters in search of a finite number of extremely rare objects.
Once considered a respectable antiquarian map dealer, E. Forbes Smiley spent years doubling as a map thief —until he was finally arrested slipping maps out of books in the Yale University library. The Map Thief delves into the untold history of this fascinating high-stakes criminal and the inside story of the industry that consumed him.
