Taking Things Seriously: 75 Objects with Unexpected Significance by Carol Hayes, Joshua Glenn

3.0

This is a charming little book that April introduced to me. Each page presents someone's precious object, usually something quite esoteric—like an old toy, an antique, or a bit of obsolete machinery. The owner of the object writes a small essay about their relationship with the thing. Sometimes it's funny; usually it's touching.
