I Like What I Know

Vincent Price—best known until recently for his career in the theatre and motion pictures—recounts here the delightful story of his lifelong love affair with the art world. In *I LIKE WHAT I KNOW*, Vincent Price writes of his early consciousness of the art around him, and of his first art acquisition—which he paid for with money earned at odd jobs. He recalls his trip to Europe at the age of sixteen that opened up whole new vistas to his deepening curiosity. He tells with gusto tales of his collecting, takes a few satiric jabs at the foibles of typical art dealers, and relates the mad days when he turned art dealer himself and found among his browsers one afternoon Thomas Mann, Franz Werfel, Rachmaninoff, and Aldous Huxley. Vincent Price not only likes what he knows, but knows a great deal. This book, with illustrations of the author's own fine collection, is an intensely personal and eloquent account filled with much valuable information and suffused with Mr. Price's common-sense philosophy and natural enthusiasm.
