A fun, light read will fascinate any celebrity fan who is also a collector.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What Celebrities Collect! (Paperback)
Here's a new twist on the collector's book: a handbook based on the author's interviews with dozens of celebrities that reveals the keepsakes they treasure and gather. You have to be as much a celebrity fan as a collector to appreciate the dual focus of What Celebrities Collect!, but such an audience will appreciate the color celebrity photos, 'did you know' sidebars of collecting tips, and insights on not only what celebrities collect, but how large their holdings are. A fun, light read will fascinate any celebrity fan who is also a collector.Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch
