I think this would make a great present…or a coffee table book or bedside read. Or something you find at a mattress retail store while you wait for your purchases to be finalized. What do you think?

DISCARDED DREAMS: a year of mattresses is a full color, 86-page softcover book documenting a year-long photography project of accumulating discarded mattresses in the trash and on the streets of New York City.

In addition to close-up shots of the surprisingly beautiful quilted fabrics and the mattresses in their sometimes bizarre locations, the book also includes short descriptions of interesting findings, unusual facts, amusing stories, and gross discoveries along the way.

This offbeat book appeals equally to both a sense of beauty and humor – a must have for your bedside table! Plus, it includes a complete index of the entire project broken down month by month.
