"It's a startling and disconcerting read that should make you think twice every time a friend of a friend offers you the opportunity of a lifetime."--Erik Larson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dead Wake and bestselling author of Devil in the White City
Think you can't get conned? Think again. The New York Times bestselling author of Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes explains how to spot the con before they spot you. " An] excellent study of Con Artists, stories & the human need to believe" -Neil Gaiman, via Twitter
A compelling investigation into the minds, motives, and methods of con artists--and the people who fall for their cons over and over again. While cheats and swindlers may be a dime a dozen, true conmen--the Bernie Madoffs, the Jim Bakkers, the Lance Armstrongs--are elegant, outsized personalities, artists of persuasion and exploiters of trust. How do they do it? Why are they successful? And what keeps us falling for it, over and over again? These are the questions that journalist and psychologist Maria Konnikova tackles in her mesmerizing new book. From multimillion-dollar Ponzi schemes to small-time frauds, Konnikova pulls together a selection of fascinating stories to demonstrate what all cons share in common, drawing on scientific, dramatic, and psychological perspectives. Insightful and gripping, the book brings readers into the world of the con, examining the relationship between artist and victim. The Confidence Game asks not only why we believe con artists, but also examines the very act of believing and how our sense of truth can be manipulated by those around us.

Very Nice Comforter
Size: King
So far, very happy with my purchase, (King size comforter). Just received yesterday, unpackaged and put inside my duvet, then realized the instructions recommend you place it in the dryer, (as it comes vacuum packed). I really didn’t feel like messing with the duvet again and yet the comforter still fluffed out very nice. The outer shell is very soft, it has decorative piping around the edges and the filling is evenly spread out throughout all the pockets. One of the nicest features are the tabs, located on all four corners and in the middle of each side, (to tie to the inside of your duvet, if your duvet has the little inner strings) great for keeping the comforter in place.

Just one con…
Size: Palatial King
Loved everything about this duvet: great quality, true-to-size, 8 ties and REALLY big & fluffy. It was just way too warm for us, even during the winter. Wish we could find a duvet this full that was cooler.

Comforter
Size: King
This is the most comfortable comforter I have ever owned! Boutique hotel quality! This comforter is not too warm, yet it keeps us warm and is very lightweight, which I love! We sleep very soundly with this comforter! I highly recommend!

MASSIVE SIZE
Size: California King
I cannot tell you how soft this is but it's like a cloud made of cotton candy! It's so soft and fluffy! In arizona its too hot for a blanket like this most of the time but this is also really cooling. Its been great, I dont have a big washing machine so i take it to the laundromat and its still in really good shape. Its clean and looks so soft and beautiful

Lovely to and super warm but ordered too large
Size: Super King
A beautifully made, lovely, hugely fluffy, super warm feather quilt...that was unfortunately ordered as wayyy too oversized and too warm a down weight for our high but standard profile king bed. You'll literally get lost in the thing, so floooofy. I plan on ordering a smaller and lighter version from the same company. Be aware that repackaging this requires a vacuum bag, and we were charged a significant amount for the return as it had been opened, so order carefully.
