Ted Botha, who furnished his Manhattan apartment entirely with items he found in the trash, devotes this nonfiction work to those who have made a vocation of collecting mongo,--treasures that others have thrown out. From rare books and Victorian jewelry to cans picked up for the nickel deposit and the discarded food from restaurants, there is wealth to be found in garbage, if one only has the patience and the dedication of those whose accounts are recorded here.
