This interesting and compelling work offers its readers a unique insight into the private lives of the great collectors whose acquisitions became the nucleus of the foremost museums of Great Britian.  "The English as Collectors" is beautifully illustrated and written.  Herrmann goes behind the scenes to capture the drive, enthusiasm, and eccentricities of these enlightened patrons of the arts.  Through ninety-six rare illustrations, more than seventy-five unique personalities are profiled.  Herrmann is a publisher, a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, and the author of "Sotheby's: Portrait of an Auction House" and "The Norton-Simon Museum."  This very readable book is for the collector in all of us.  Co-published with John Murray, Publishers, London.
