Abstract

This list covers nonfiction on specific famous hoaxes and scams as well as overviews of the topic. Many of the books gathered here began as long-form news articles that were developed into a book. A short section of media items rounds out the column along with great podcast suggestions for gathering background information on what is undoubtedly a scintillating topic for users of all types of libraries.—Editor
