About This Item

New York:: Picador,, (2016). SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Fine in glossy illustrated boards (a new copy).. First printing. Cartoon illustrated stories behind some of the most common and underappreciated objects - from the paperclip and the toothbrush to post-it notes and the microwave oven. "Structured around the different locations in our home and daily life - the kitchen, the bathroom, the office, and the grocery store - [this] traces the often surprising and sometimes complex histories behind the items we often take for granted. Readers learn how Velcro was created after a Swiss engineer took his dog for a walk; how a naval engineer invented the Slinky; a German housewife, the coffee filter; and a radical feminist and anti-capitalist, the game Monopoly. SIGNED on the first page by the author-illustrator and dated in October 2016, in the month of publication. He has also added a balloon comment to the cat "History is awesome." Index 206 pp.
