We all collect something, but this is not a book about investing in art. The author, an archaeologist, collects old plastic, Bakelite and celluloid, and asks why some people love century-old dolls and others keys or shop signs. In small things from her native Gdańsk she finds the afterimage of a vanished everyday world.
