Wondering what The Wunderkammer is all about?
... Nothing, really. The Wunderkammer exists to host photos for my my eBay auctions, and that's pretty much it.
Wondering what a Wunderkammer is? Check out Stephen Jay Gould and Rosamonde Wolff Purcell's marvelous book, Finders, Keepers: Eight Collectors. Your own habit will feel tame by comparison. Trust me.
This excerpt from Neil Gaiman's blog is so poignant, and so perfect, I felt I had to share it:
Sept 02, 2001:
"A gift arrived from HarperCollins a few days ago. It's a black leather-bound, gold edged, handmade, one-of-a kind edition of American Gods - a thing of unbelievable beauty. It makes me happy just to look at it. It's the kind of thing that makes me wish I had a display case for wonderful things, awards, gifts, and whatnot, rather than just finding room for them on mantelpieces and in corners and things. But I don't. They just have to find their places."
