Published in connection with a nationally touring Whatcom Museum (Washington) exhibition of the same name proposed by Herman (director emeritus, the Renwick Gallery, DC). Features "Marilyn Monrobot" as the work on the title page in addition to 79 other color examples of trash-into- treasure. Other than early exemplars of funky found art, most of these craftily recycled materials are surprisingly sophisticated. Includes an exhibition checklist. Distributed by the U. of Washington Press.
