520 |a <P><i>Beyond Market Value</i> chronicles Annette Campbell-White?s remarkable life, from a childhood spent in remote mining camps throughout the British Commonwealth, where books created an imaginary home; to her early adulthood in London, where she first discovered a vocation as a book collector; to Silicon Valley, where she built a pioneering career as a formidable venture capitalist. She recalls the impulsive purchase of the first book in her collection, T. S. Eliot?s <i>A Song for Simeon</i>, and her pursuit of rare editions of all one hundred titles listed in Cyril Connolly?s <i>The Modern Movement. </i>Campbell-White?s collecting and career peaked in 2005, when she acquired the last of the Connolly titles and was first named to <i>Forbes</i>? Midas List, the annual ranking of the most successful dealmakers in venture capital.</p><p>In 2007, out of concern for their preservation, Campbell-White rashly sold the Connolly titles she had spent more than twenty years assembling, leading to a new appreciation of what remained of her collection and, going forward, a broader focus on collecting modernist letters, manuscripts, and ephemera. <i>Beyond Market Value</i> is both a loving tribute to literary collecting and a telling account of the challenges of being a woman in the male-dominated world of finance.</p>
