Taking Things Seriously: 75 Objects with Unexpected Significance

1568986904

We all have something in our lives or something in our homes that, while not obviously valuable, is displayed as though it were a precious and irreplacable artifact. In Taking Things Seriously: 75 Objects with Unexpected Significance the owners of 75 objects convey their excitement in short, often poignant essays that invite readers to participate in the enjoyable act of interpreting things.

It has been a while since a book has mesmerized me this much! One of my new favorites!

Couldn't agree more with you, swissmiss. I got this book a few weeks ago and love it. Wish I had thought of this idea myself.
