The Book Detective
Episode 1609
Tuesday, 5 May, 2026

David and Ryan are joined by Scott Brown of Downtown Brown Books to discuss -- you guessed it -- book collecting. A lifelong collector and enthusiast of rare books, Scott has also been a dealer for the last twenty-five years. He regales the guys with tales from the book trade, tries to tempt them into yet another collecting arena, and then recounts the bizarre and tragic story of one of the greatest science-fiction book collectors no one has heard of -- a man whose seventy-year-old, priceless collection was slowly looted from his home. Scott deputized himself a book detective and pledged to recover as much of the collection as he could with a good, old-fashioned collector's passion and tenacity. These are his stories. Duh-dun (Law and Order noises)!
