For the Love of It
Amateuring and Its Rivals
by Wayne Booth

Demonstrated by a life-long pursuit of playing the cello, Booth explores amateuring. The whys, not only for the fun of it, but for the love of it. Identifying the juxtaposition of doing a hobby for no other gain than loving and society's expectation of success and payoff, Booth is able to explain and celebrate doing it "for the love of it."
