Perhaps not every collector is as obsessed as Sir Thomas Phillips was, yet all collectors do share a similar undeniable compulsion for their common hobby, whether the object of their affection is a rare book, a baseball card, a work of art, or a teddy bear. But how and why do people collect? And what compels some to go to such lengths - abandoning moral standards, legal obligations, even family responsibilities - to satisfy their emotional commitment to an object? Werner Muensterberger explores these questions by plumbing the psychology behind the act of collecting, profiling individual collectors and their habits, and looking at the cultural and historical patterns of collecting. The result is a unique, captivating view of human behaviour. Book has very slight wear at the edges of the cover.
