By Philippe Juilan. Published by Sidgwick & Jackson, London, 1967.
From the dust jacket flap; “This brilliant & witty book distinguishes between two kinds of collecting: the one comprising stamps, buttons, tin soldiers, hotel labels & autographs; the other concerned with paintings books engravings & curios. Philippe Jullian makes no secret of the fact that his sympathies go more with the latter kind... but at the same time he draws interesting & amusing conclusions from the eccentricities of the less orthodox & less aesthetically minded collectors.” Chapters include Morality & Collecting; The confession of a collector; Dictionary of collectors & collecting; Age & collecting; In a prosperous society; Three temperaments.
Hard cover with pictorial dust jacket. Excellent conditio with small rip on the front of jacket, now protected in a Mylar cover.
