Product Description

Product Description

Only Americans love their things ... and feel guilty about it. Whether you woo shoes, Hot Wheels, baseball cards, art, glass, pottery, haute couture, handbags, tin toys, Barbie dolls, vintage costume jewelry or all the other alluring collectibles you can''t get enough of, THINGS makes an entertaining read, covering subjects from the psychology of hunting and gathering ... to the people who adore their antiques and tchotchkes. Join hundreds of thousands of fellow collectors who suffer such sweet guilt pangs ... because they dig such great stuff.

About the Author

Kathy Flood is a journalist currently based in the Midwest. As an editor and writer, she's written on topics as diverse as baseball and Barbie dolls, haute couture and hot dogs, exotic destinations and life at home. Her food column, Quizzine, was nationally syndicated. Many of the chapters in this book were taken from her weekly column in a major metropolitan daily newspaper; others are added so we can all ruminate on the role of "things" in current events, from Hurricane Katrina ... to Oprah Winfrey's Hermes incident.

FUNNY! 21 Jun 2008
By Figurette - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Hysterically funny, in fact. Provides great information for collectors of Swarovski and other specialties such as Bakelite and general antiques and collectibles, but the writing's wonderful too. Love the chapter with famous quotes about 'things,' and the chapter including Oprah is a riot (as well as heart tugging). Think this is a compilation of the author's most-read newspaper columns, plus some new additions.
