Quote on book collecting

 Book collecting is an obsession,an occupation,a disease,an addiction,a fascination ,an absurdity,a fate.It is not a hobby.Those who do it must do it.Those who do not do it,think of it as a cousin of stamp collecting,a sister of the trophy cabinet,bastard of a sound bank account and a weak mind.-Jeanette Winterson,ART OBJECTS:ESSAYS ON ECSTASY AND EFFRONTERY.
