Collecting Daphne
Some of the Daphne du Maurier titles available from her current publisher, Virago
A new year is often the time to try something new, start a new hobby, join and organisation relating to your interests, or begin a collection. Chris Main and Ann Willmore have written a new article for the Daphne du Maurier website, which aims to encourage collectors of books and ephemera relating to Daphne du Maurier. Here you will find facts to help you and tips to ensure you avoid making costly mistakes.
You could collect the modern Virago paperbacks or the early Penguins with their wonderful cover designs. You could collect different editions of one specific book, such as Rebecca, or you could collect UK first editions of all of Daphne’s works. Then there are many ephemera items, such as magazines containing Daphne’s short stories or articles about her. The scope for collecting Daphne is endless, and you can build the collection that suits you best. So, if you are starting on a new collection or want to expand an existing one, this is the article for you.
