Review Quotes:
As a scholar who recently installed a display of my own X-Files-related memorabilia in my academic building, this book was excellent company. My own life long urges to accumulate things in a series (Beatles, XFiles, Alice in Wonderland, many others) taught me how to become an expert in a field, and today, my artfully cluttered office, like this book, stands as a testament to the relationship between collection and academia.
