Summary
At a young age Claudia Chan Shaw developed a penchant for collecting of all kinds. As she grew older she realised it had become an obsession and that there were others who felt the same. As host of the ABC TV series, The Collectors, Claudia has encountered many people of the same ilk, people for whom one bakelite telephone was too little and 100 of them was not enough. Now she takes readers on a journey through various collections - vintage wine, Superman cards, record covers, old jewellery and so many other things. She explains the motives behind the collections, shares tips on how to collect for novices and shows the difference between a mere hoarder and someone who truly has collectomania
