Trade Review

"The Accidental Collector..reads as if it were a Sunday afternoon chat with a dear friend you haven't seen in many years."

* The Bloomsbury Review *

"A masterpiece of informal yet informed history about the artistic and intellectual life of western Washington during the 1950s and '60s. Wehr writes with intimacy and warmth, creating intertwined, breathing portraits of some of the 20th century's most fascinating artists."

* The Bellingham Weekly *
