Big City Junk ReviewBIG CITY JUNK, which was probably in production on September 11, 2001 (it arrived in bookstores a couple of months later), carries a special resonance because of the events of that day. What would otherwise be a lark of a style book appealing to the collectibles crowd becomes a small shrine as well for a piece of the New York lifestyle and psyche. In the course of celebrating the cast aside and disposable, Mary Randolph Carter, the author and photographer caught a lasting, brave, prophetic comment about fear and city living rendered in the temporal medium of a sidewalk chalk message. But she is also onto something else that is so very much a part of the economy and ecology of the city: the cycle of "stuff" in a population intensive, small place. The sociological angle raises this volume in Carter's Junk series above the others.
This is not to say the book isn't fun. It is fun. And it is very fair: Carter gives very specific information about how much things cost (or don't) and where they were found. She provides lists of flea markets and thrift shops in the major metropolitan areas she covers. Her method is to focus on individual collectors in locales like New York, San Francisco and LA, profiling how they find their stuff and what they do with it.
Like a novelist who succeeds in creating a world and staying true to it, Carter has established a vision that makes junk matter. I need open, less cluttered surfaces in my own environment, but when I read the Junk series, I can certainly enjoy that collectible urge.Big City Junk OverviewCollecting "junk" is hotter than ever, Now, with Big City Junk, the undisputed Queen of Junk explores exciting junking opportunities within city limits.In chapters such as "Tie-Died and Gone to Heaven," "Fifis on Fifth," and "Storage House Rules," Carter celebrates all the stuff that imaginatively challenged people deem to be junk but that can look like found treasure if given a good home—like yours. For everyone who can see the decorative possibilities of cast-off office supplies, hotel dishes, deco furniture, and city souvenirs, Carter offers advice on where to find the best items, what you should pay, how to think like an urban forager, and how to display your finds in true junk style.For city dwellers and their visiting country cousins alike, Big City Junk proves that America's urban streets can be fertile ground indeed for decorators and bargain hunters.
