                  Obsession: the Myrna and Benzion Schkolne
Collection of English Pottery

​

The December 2021 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, (larger files so slightly longer to download), but pick your poison. If you choose PDF (and most of you will do so), remember you may have to set your PDF viewer to "single page" rather than "double page." This setting is usually on the VIEW menu at the top.

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, and I am able to email you a file directly. ​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.​
