I originally bought this book as a gag gift for a friend. But after I gave it away, I had to buy my own copy. It is well written and wonderfully illistrated. I appreciate the rigorous application of intellect to a completely useless subject. I have purchased extra copies and give them away as gifts when appropriate.

Pure genius in inatimate typology. Classic witicism and commentary done in an inimitable style with social sarcasm.

One of the most complete and well thought out works I have ever encountered. Montague’s language coupled with his beautiful photography give the lowly carts individual personalities.
