DESCRIPTION
Enter the totally addictive world of book-collecting.
Welcome to the gimlet-eyed, detail-crazed world of the fanatical book collector — not just the kind who buys at auction or from catalogues — but also the sleuth, the type who uses bluff and guile to hunt down his quarry.
Meet a cast of eccentric collectors such as the one who only collects books about suicide or by writers who have killed themselves; meet the completists; the condition freaks; the rich and famous collectors — Barry Humphries, Harvey Weinstein, Sarah Michelle Gellar. The literati will adore this very entertaining memoir.
