Join members in riveting conversation and discuss February's book selection: Secondhand: Travels in the New Global Garage Sale by Adam Minter. 

 

"Journalist Adam Minter takes us on an unexpected adventure into the often-hidden, multibillion-dollar industry of reuse: thrift stores in the American Southwest to vintage shops in Tokyo, flea markets in Southeast Asia to used-goods enterprises in Ghana, and more. Along the way, Minter meets the fascinating people who handle-and profit from-our rising tide of discarded stuff, and asks a pressing question: In a world that craves shiny and new, is there room for it all?"

For those of us who are contemplating decluttering or are already in the process, this is really relevant! Perhaps this selection will rope in another couple of Villagers to the book club, if only for one time next month.

A good follow-up to our downsizing discussion!
