John Marrs is an interior designer and purveyor of antiques. He helps clients build their collections and also designs walls, rooms, or wings in high-end homes to display the objects. This book is about the joy of collecting and the author's passion for displaying just about anything and everything in unique and beautiful ways. Told in entertaining stories and anecdotes, and lavishly photographed.

"'I think everyone should collect something, ' I tell my clients. Some already do and some don't. Those who do seem to get the disease quite quickly and off we go! I have been so lucky to help in the acquisition of collections and in deciding how to edit and organize, and finally, to decorate rooms, wings, or whole houses with magnificent collections of just about anything and everything you can imagine."
