Some collections are increadible
I agree that it is fascinating to see some private collections. I can't understand where they find the time to acquire all the items in their collections. They must spend thousands of hours. In Stockholm I once visited a collection of historical medical litterature. It is possible that that collection is the largest in the world of its kind. It is not open for public though, I was invited by a lucky coincident. Also that time the collector showed me around. He explained that when he had a decent size collection doctors, professors of medicin and others started to donate their own relevant books to him. People working in the field of medicin bought books they found at auctions or in second-hand bookstores because they thought it was fun at the moment. Later on they didn't know what to do with them so they gave them to the collector. Some of them only had one or two, others had several hundreds. So once the collection was large enough it kind of grew on its own. /Ake
