Sobre IBD

Welcome to the world of crap you keep instead of throwing out.It’s the stuff that you love to have around you but are not sure why.There are over fifty essays about the little things in life in this book. Like coloring books and nip bottles. Why do we keep them? Why do we find joy in these things.There are a variety of items that people collect and decorate their lives with: glass eyes, vomit bags, cardboard music records.There is a lot of random things that take our fancy and these essays are more celebration than investigation. We get it. You dig what you dig. From pretty soaps you are not allowed to use to corsages made from dog bones, there is a lot of things we build our history from. This is a little slice of that history.
