What is the value of Gandhi's glasses or a collection of Braille editions of Playboy? And how much is an artwork consisting of ten million $100 banknotes worth?

In this gloriously eclectic overview of 2009's most ownable objects, Jolyon Fenwick and Marcus Husselby present a treasure trove of over 100 desirable things bought or offered for sale this year. Ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous, the cache of curios includes: a hard disk of MPs' expenses over the last five years; Einstein's watch; Uncle Monty's cottage from Withnail and I; the last ever cheque issued by Woolworths (it bounced); a holy water sprinkler (made by Parker pens); official posters from the Obama campaign; Captain Cook's boomerang; Super Lemon Haze marijuana; Black Canary Barbie (described as 'filth' by Christian Voice); and, the key to the binoculars storeroom on board the Titanic.

Author Biography: Jolyon Fenwick and Marcus Husselby are the founders of 20ltd.com, a curator and e-tailer of contemporary design.
