Adventures of a Bookcollector
No Customer Reviews
This is the true and continuing story of one man's love of the written word; of what happens when a hobby becomes an obsession. Philip Murray's hunt for first editions has taken him to bookshops all over the world, and in many cases has led to enduring friendships with the poets and authors themselves. Murray's innocent and trusting habit of sending books to authors all around the globe, with stamped, addressed envelopes enclosed, has allowed him to gather together an enviable collection of signed first editions. This is best characterized by his copy of The Whoseday Book which contains the signatures of all but twelve of its over 360 contributors. This is a rare and vivid memoir of literature, authors, and book collecting. "With humor and an optimism about it all, this book] is a strong pick for fans of books who want to share an adventure with one of their own."-Midwest Book Review
