Glass, Paper, Beans Revelations on the Nature and Value of Ordinary Things

"...[M]eticulously reported....What distinguishes this book is Ms. Cohen's ability to render the connections between sweeping scenes and the sort of close-ups that make reading certain passages feel like looking through a literary electron microscope....The effect of moving back and forth between these extremes is exhilarating....'Glass, Paper, Beans' creates a quirky, clicking little universe of its own in which every piece of the puzzle fits and everybody has a part to play. After you read it, nothing--not even a sheet of newsprint--will seem ordinary again."Cohen, Leah Hager is the author of 'Glass, Paper, Beans Revelations on the Nature and Value of Ordinary Things', published 1998 under ISBN 9780385492577 and ISBN 038549257X.
