About This Book

A collection of witty personal essays recounting the author's hobby of rescuing and displaying old wooden tobacco-sign Indians and other popular curiosities. She narrates urban and country hunts, bargaining, restoration, and garden placement, interspersed with reflections on art, domestic taste, and memory. Short anecdotes and social sketches—from conversations with sign-painters to encounters at country estates and a peculiar healing session—combine light satire and affectionate observation of changing material culture.
