The Canny Collector

by Mark Hill, Simon Watson (Illustrator)

The Canny Collector is the perfect read for every collector. It covers a vast range of topics from what really drives the market today, to how to spot the 'next big thing' and how to display your collection. Crammed with practical and useful advice, the book is divided up into thoughtful and easy to read chunks, a little like some of today's social media. You'll find opinions, hints and tricks of the trade drawn from the author's personal experience, which can't be found elsewhere.
