The podcast for the entire program is at the top of the page and links to the individual segments are below that.
The part about the man who loved books too much is the segment called 'For The Love of Books'. |
Ooh I'll have to check it out. Hopefully they have a podcast of it.

Sure can! You can check out John Dunning. He has a short series (with a mystery bent, with some action) about an ex-cop who now deals in rare books. If you've read any Lee Child books, the writing style is similar. The first one is called "Booked to Die." If you are looking for non-fiction, definitely try "The Man Who Loved Books Too Much." I really enjoyed that.
I also just picked up "The Secret of Lost Things" by Sheridan Hay at the bookstore, but I can't speak for it since I haven't read it yet
