Beyond Market Value 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 A Song for Simeon, and her pursuit of rare editions of all
one hundred titles listed in Cyril Connolly's The Modern Movement.
Campbell-White's collecting and career peaked in 2005, when she
acquired the last of the Connolly titles and was first named to
Forbes' Midas List, the annual ranking of the most successful
dealmakers in venture capital. 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. Beyond Market Value 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.
