God Save Our Stuff

Norwegian title: Ja, vi elsker ting

Miriam Høvik

In God Save Our Stuff the author Miriam Høvik invites you into the homes of collectors from all over Norway, and into a world of unknown treasures. Here you will meet anything from the woman collecting napkins and the man collecting clocks – to the man collecting wedding dresses, and the group of boys who have started to collect stamps. In this book you can find several of Norway’s largest, craziest, weirdest, and best collections.

Some collections are of priceless value, while others have more nostalgic value. All offer unique and exciting stories about Norwegian history and the present time. In God Save Our Stuff you get a rare insight into the people who invest their time and money in a hobby which in some cases is shared with only a handful of people, and even fewer people understand. You’ll definitely be fascinated by all the exciting collections, objects, stories and the lovely people behind the collections.
