Collecting Art: For Pleasure and Profit is a riveting read, allowing its audience a holistic perspective on all things art. Dr. Harvey Manes' writing style is neither stifling nor overbearing despite the heavy-handed nature of art history. I highlighted a few too many paragraphs when he presented art as a viable investment option. This is a must-read for broke art students!

It’s been a while since I read a book that has encompassed the intention of art collectors so efficiently. Dr. Harvey Manes’ narrative in Collecting Art: For Pleasure and Profit is both educational and inspiring. I learned a great deal from his discussions on recent trends and lessons on art history. Additionally, I found his opinions on NFTs as the future of art quite insightful.

I’ll be honest; I have no interest in art. Still, one of my artist friends recommended me this book in hopes of appealing to my investor rigor, and here I am, ready to make my first art investment. Dr. Harvey Manes know how to sell his pitch and is quite persuasive in his arguments.
