What if the things we keep hidden say more about us than those we put on display?
The perfect gift for Pulp fans and pop culture lovers this Christmas.
Brilliant... accessible, pithy, lurid, entertaining, even laugh-out-loud funny... we can only hope that Cocker has enough tat for a second volume.
-- Neil McCormick ― The Telegraph
Poignant in a subtle, understated way; Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time for the age of the Ford Cortina... This book is about a very normal childhood and the everyday detritus it left behind. Common people indeed.
-- Will Hodgkinson ― The Times
Incredibly entertaining...a trip through the things that have made him who he is.
-- Jessie Thompson ― Evening Standard, *Books to Look Out For 2022*
Rummage through its pages - through the plastic and nylon, the tin and vinyl - and it's real gold, its shirts second-hand, of course, but its storytelling first class.

Absolutely fabulous: at once very witty, self-depreciating and moving.

Engaging and evocative. He [Cocker] paints a vividly drab picture of the north of England under Thatcherism. And his book is beautiful to look at, too, set out like pop art.

Like a pop culture Proust... a testament to just how rich this junk is that Cocker can weave such a compelling take.
