The Museum of Things We Almost Threw Away

An OddBall Studios collection of ordinary treasures.

A key with no known lock. A concert wristband. A mug nobody else is allowed to use. Forty-eight everyday objects take their places under the museum lights, each with a dryly funny placard and a story that lingers.

Part visual collection, part affectionate look at the things we keep, this is a book for anyone who has ever opened a drawer and found a whole chapter of their life.

By Bradley K. Dorsey · OddBall Studios. Also available in paperback and Kindle. The paperback link searches Amazon for the title.
