Here is the book's back matter:
White elephants are the odd, old, and discarded things that end up at yard sales and flea markets — and Katie Haegele loves them all. Well, an awful lot of them, anyway. She lives a few blocks from the house she grew up in and every summer she and her mother scour the neighborhood tag sales, looking for treasure. In this unusual, touching memoir, she chronicles the places they go and the things they find there, describing every detail in her singular, charming voice.
"Katie Haegele's writing is a miracle. No matter how grumpy you've gotten, White Elephants will inspire you turn your days into adventures again—whether or not that includes looking through weird shit on other people's lawns." —Ariel Gore, creator, Hip Mama, and author, All the Pretty People: Tales of Carob, Shame, and Barbie-Envy
"This charmingly curious book, a quirky exploration of flea markets, yard sales, and love, will have you thinking you are listening to a soothing friend. Perhaps Katie Haegele might be a unique, American version of Sylvia Smith. " —Tama Janowitz, author of the New York Times Notable Book Slaves of New York
***Sorry for the preposterously high price for shipping, international folks. The USPS just slammed us with increased postal rates. The book is available for sale in the UK and Europe, though. In the UK and Ireland distribution is handled by Turnaround, so you can check their website for stockists (http://www.turnaround-uk.com/hite-elephants), or good old Amazon.co.uk. Thank you for your interest.***
