| Publisher Description: From Silvio Berlusconi's bed to Casanova's memoirs via the Statue of Liberty's nose and an X-ray of Marilyn Monroe's chest, here is a remarkable record of some of the most unexpected and sometimes bizarre possessions that have changed hands in the last year--some costing millions, some only pennies. Ranging from historical artefacts (such as Marie Antoinette's pearls) to the weirdly iconic (Elvis' medicine cabinet), by turns ingenious, intriguing, and witty, this is a brilliant insight into the culture of our time, packed with extraordinary things to amuse, inspire, or amaze.
