Boston: Little Brown and Company, 1948. first edition. hardcover. Book VG: mild soil/spotting to boards and spine, light foxing to endpapers, text unmarked, binding intact. 8vo 661pp. Atlantic Monthly Press Book. stated first edition, first printing September 1948. from Notice to the Reader: "...Twenty years' experience as curator and director in American museums has convinced me that the phenomenon of art collecting is too instinctive and too common to be dismissed as mere fashion or the desire for fame. It is a complex and irrepressible expression of the inner individual, a sort of devil of which great personalities are frequently possessed. It is a curious coincidence that all of the men and women dealt with in these pages were highly interesting in their own right and would, indeed, have been so even had they never collected anything in their entire lives." #02494 HEAVY ITEM WILL REQUIRE EXTRA S/H.
