Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collecting Antiques for Pleasure and Profit: The Narrative of Twenty-Five Years Search for Antique Furniture, Paints, China, Paintings and Other Works of Art, Copiously Pictured With Many Fine Examples I first began to collect works of art in a small way as long ago as 1893, and it has seemed to me that my experiences as a collector may be of interest to those who, like myself, take a keen delight in acquiring things antique. I cannot boast of ever having bought an article that turned out to be worth thousands of pounds, although such prizes are possible; and this book is in tended for the collector of moderate means who is looking for pieces such as I possess. The illustrations - with a few exceptions - are from photographs, taken by myself, of specimens which have actually belonged to me, and many of which are still in my possession.

This is the usual method with collectors, and one which is to be recommended. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
