Amazing that someone took this on. Even more amazing is that it has been turned into a book. Thanks for sharing it, Elinor.
Hoarders have contributed to social history over the ages. There is an apartment in Glasgow called the Tenement House that is now a museum. The last tenant kept everything including receipts, utensils and furniture from the first half of the 20thc. Evocative for me and a chance to show the children/ grandchildren that you can exist without a television, computer or electricity.
