Opis

This volume focuses on the nature and study of collectors and collecting in the closing decades of the 20th century, from 1960 onwards. Concentrating on contemporary or new collecting, this volume explores new trends in collecting, which digress from the old collecting conventions of antiques and fine art, to the discovery of value in objects such as milk bottles and telephone cards.
