Cool Collectables by Dan Synge
From gadgets to games to guitars, the essence of cool and how to collect it is brought together in this chunky, compact book. An array of hip, retro "guy stuff" is accompanied by lively text and full-colour photographs, often confirming the value of those comics stashed under the bed or indicating that the Hawaiian shirts at the back of the wardrobe should come out more often. Different sections feature items from the Home, including cocktail shakers and telephones, and those related to Play and Style. Bikes, scooters, automobilia, and aeromobilia are covered in Go, Sound showcases such essentials as jukeboxes and rock memorabilia, and Sport includes surfing and boxing. Whether you are considering the potential value of your sunglasses collection or want to know the best place to get a pinball machine, this is the book for you.
Dan Synge is a London-based freelance feature writer working for The Times, the Daily Telegraph, the Guardian, and Blueprint.
