摘要

Whatever you collect, whether stamps, coins, paintings, porcelain or pottery, or books, you have to immerse yourself in the history of the subject, its development and relationship to contemporary society and to the people who were important in the development of that subject. Otherwise, there is little to be gained from collecting apart from the possession of objects. However, collectors are strange creatures; some are driven by the purest of motives – the pursuit of knowledge or beauty, whereas for others the motivation can amount to acquisitiveness that may become obsessional. PG Wodehouse wrote of the two tycoons whose rivalry in collecting golf memorabilia was so consuming that they would go to any lengths, legal or otherwise, to possess one of Harry Vardon's trouser buttons! There may even be some who (perish the thought) collect solely as an ‘investment portfolio’!
