The 2024 edition of Obsession, my collecting memoir, is available in three volumes, as three free PDF files. 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. The digital format has enabled 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 tablet instead. 

I have compressed the files so downloads should be quite quick, but shout if you need help, and I will email you a PDF directly.
