                  Obsession: the Myrna and Benzion Schkolne
Collection of English Pottery

The THIRD EDITION of Obsession, my collecting memoir, is available in three volumes, and each has a different cover to facilitate identification. You will find several significant additions, some corrections of past errors, and, no doubt, some new errors too! 

Obsession is available for FREE download below as either EPUB or PDF files. I prefer the EPUB files, (larger files so slightly longer to download), but pick your poison. Both digital formats enable inclusion of an extraordinary number of large images, far more than any paper-and-ink book could accommodate, far more than you want to print!  Enjoy it on your computer or reader instead.

The downloads are quite quick, unless you have a very slow internet connection, but shout if you need help. ​Also, as my work has not been subjected to professional editing, please let me know when you catch my errors. I can be reached at myrna.schkolne@gmail.com.​
