Secondhand: Travels in the New Global Garage Sale
reviewed on + 1154 more book reviews


Nonfiction at its best! Not only was there a compelling description of what happens to all that stuff you donate, but there were well explained recommendations about how to improve current systems. I will be thinking about the total cost of ownership (can you repair it, will it have resale value) rather than the first cost (what the pricetag says) from now on. It's encouraging to learn that there are people out there working to make reuse a viable option from the iFixit website to TV repairmen in Africa.
