A review by actuallyitsember
Secondhand: Travels in the New Global Garage Sale by Adam Minter

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

Sustainability and thrift/vintage shopping are big areas of interest for me so, while I was excited for this book, I was little worried it would just be a longwinded rewording of things I've already read or heard, but Adam actually dispelled a few of the commonly believed myths around secondhand items and markets in a compelling way.  This was an enjoyable and informative read. It makes you want to tidy up and become a better consumer, even if you already knew a fair amount about secondhand markets.
