All the Best Rubbish: The Classic Ode to Collecting

Ivor Noel Hume, the former chief archaeologist of Colonial Williamsburg, offers a delightful, anecdotal, and informative celebration of the joys of collecting. All the Best Rubbish is the enchanting and edifying product of Hume’s lifetime spent pursuing historical junk across the globe, a hunt that has led him to the most remarkable finds in the most unexpected places. A true treasure for antiquarians, historians, collectors, and fans of television’s Antique Roadshow, Hume’s All the Best Rubbish includes a new introduction by the author on collecting on the Internet in the Age of Ebay.
