- Summary:
- "The Internet has had a profound effect on collecting--because of the Web, collectibles are now more readily available, collections more easily displayed for a wider audience, and collectors' online communities are larger and often quite intimate. In this work, essays discuss the age-old habit of collecting and its modern relationship with the Internet"--Provided by publisher.
