A must-read for an archaeologist or anyone who has an interest in the story of objects. The short stories and beautiful pictures make this a book difficult to put down, but not an intense time commitment.

I used to teach a "significant object" unit - a favorite - for examining the meaning attached to things. wish this book was around then! This is a fascinating compilation of people and the 1 thing that matters to them, above all else. There are famous people (Ta-Nahisi Coates, Tim O'Brien, Cheryl Strayed, Joss Whedon, Melinda Gates, Travon Free) and important people, and average people, and anonymous people and they all have an object that is of immense value to them alone. Some have family history, some are probably valuable in the market, some have sentimental value: quite a few related to faith, military service, cultural heritage, history, but some total outliers that you wouldn't look at twice at Goodwill. A great browse book that allows you to be a little bit nosy and a whole lot of imspired - the reminder that everyone has a story comes through loud and clear. Great photos too of the objects and sometimes the people they belong to.… (plus d'informations)

This was a great book and an insight to what we hold valuable. I really enjoyed it.
