I REALLY enjoyed this book. It was so insightful into the lives of collectors, historians of the modern age. Really interesting class commentary as well. Ate through this. It’s not garbage, it’s ephemera of modernity!!

A witty, inspiring look into the habits of folks who collect trash and comb through refuse. Some people do it for fun, some for profit, some for food, some to create art. This is a slim book, but one rarely feels that Botha isn't giving his subjects their due. It's a fun fast read and it'll have you checking the trash for treasures on your way home from work.

Fascinating! It makes me want to take the time to find some treasures of my own. Very entertaining to read.
