Andrea Mays and Eric Rasmussen discuss the obsessions — sometimes legal, sometimes illegal, always gripping — roused by one of the most valuable books in the world. Moderated by Peter Medine.

Andrea E. Mays has degrees in economics from the State University of New York at Binghamton and from UCLA, and teaches economics at California State University at Long Beach. Like Henry Folger, she is a native New Yorker and has had a lifelong Shakespeare obsession. She spent much of her Manhattan girlhood in the New York Public Library listening to vinyl LP recordings of performances by the Royal Shakespeare Company. "The Millionaire and the Bard" is her first book.

Foundation Professor and Chair of English at the University of Nevada, Eric Rasmussen is the award-winning author of "The Shakespeare Thefts: In Search of the First Folios." Stories about his recent authentication of a newly-discovered Shakespeare First Folio have been featured in The New York Times, USA Today, The Guardian, NPR, CNN, and the BBC; The Washington Post has called him "the Robert Langdon of the Shakespearean world."
