Secondhand is a fascinating look at what actually happens when items are donated or sold, often going through many more layers than I would have expected. It will definitely get you thinking about the items you choose to discard, and, hopefully, the items you choose to buy in the first place (except books, of course 😉).

Interesting investigation into all the ways out secondhand items are passed on via Goodwill etc. in the US and worldwide. Has inspired me to declutter :)

This book made me think about how i will deal w/my own surplus property in future, where I will dispose of it through donation. Highly recommend this book, particularly to readers interested in what happens to clothes that go to Goodwill but don't sell. There's been bad press about them mass-landfilling & it's clear from Minter's research that such a thing is a last resort.

I received an ARC from #NetGalley for an unbiased review of #Secondhand
