The Collector by John Fowles Super Vintage First Edition Pan Paperback 1986

This book by John Fowles was unanimously praised upon release:

"A singularly skilled first novel, original in its conception and unnervingly acute in its observation of an obsession. It is the story of a kidnapping - a nutty clerk captures and holds the art student he has become fixated upon, and there follows a fiendish interplay of sanity and insanity, the contest of minds without a meeting point."...

"More important than its brilliant account of a psycopathic obsession is its statement about the condition of attachment...an artist of great imaginative power. "

This was a seminal book in the crime and psychological genre and really should be on everyone's reading list. A perfect study of total obsession.
