Santa Fe, New Mexico – WEBWIRE – Thursday, November 17, 2016

“Fraud is a crime that hurts people. It violates their dignity and robs them of their money and options. While it will never disappear from our society, those who get rich at the often painful expense of others should be exposed,”

On the 10th AJC Decatur Book Festival, LitFire Publishing featured Bernard Ewell’s book, Artful Dodgers: Fraud & Foolishness in the Art Market, from September 2 to 4, 2016, at 101 E. Court Square, Decatur, Georgia.

As a veteran appraiser, Bernard Ewell has vast knowledge on how the art market works—its grandeur, its economics, and the fraud and fakery that victimizes unsuspecting individuals. He created the book to help those who would like to engage in the art industry. You can protect yourself from being conned if you are informed.

“Fraud is a crime that hurts people. It violates their dignity and robs them of their money and options. While it will never disappear from our society, those who get rich at the often painful expense of others should be exposed,” the author says.

Artful Dodgers is not just informative, but also entertaining. It doesn’t intend to discourage people from buying art; rather, it provides knowledge on how to fully enjoy and safely buy art.

More than one thousand world-class authors and hundreds of thousands of festivalgoers have participated in the annual event. The event hosted book signings, author readings, discussions and seminars, live music, parades, demonstrations, spoken poetry, and writing workshops.
