Yoko Ono Collects Rare Books: Book Patrol Interview

Interesting tidbit from the Book Patrol, which spotted Yoko Ono wandering the aisles at the 2010 New York Antiquarian Book Fair.

BP: How long have you been collecting rare books?

YO: My father was my influence. John Lennon was a lover and a collector of old books, as well. He was an avid reader, which is not known so much.

BP: What are your areas of collecting interest?

YO: Rare books, of course. I won't mention more than that, since I wish not to be flooded with letters from book dealers letting me know their findings. I like to find the books myself, by going to shops of old books and book fairs.
