Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. This book talks about the hobby of collecting in general. This includes a history of collecting when books were collected for the Library of Alexandria. Today, people collect things that are considered collectibles or items that might be antiques. Inexpensive collections include stamps, bottle caps and postcards. More expensive type collections include muscle cars, foreign antiques and high priced trading cards.
