Synopsis
Philipp Blom's TO HAVE AND TO HOLD aims to do for collecting what Charles Sprawson's THE HAUNTS OF THE BLACK MASSEUR did for swimming and Alberto Manguel's A HISTORY OF READING did for books. It is a completely engrossing, idiosyncratic, ruminative, meandering, delightful, episodic exploration of the collecting mind from mediaeval times to the present - full of eccentrics, visionaries, heroes and nutcases. It is (as such a book must be) itself something of a work of art.
