David, who was the first to win the £500 Rose Book-Collecting Prize, launched in 2006, has now gone on to claim first place in the Fine Books and Collections Collegiate Book-collecting Championship, winning a further $2,500 and a donation of $1,000 made in his name to the Library. The international competition received more than fifty entries and the prizes for the top three collectors were awarded on 12 October in Seattle.

David was entered into the competition after winning Cambridge University Library's Rose Book-collecting Prize earlier this year, entries for which are now being taken for 2008. Back to news
