Jolyon Fenwick & Marcus Husselby 
It Could Have Been Yours 
The enlightened person’s guide to the year’s most desirable things

From Silvio Berlusconi’s bed to Casanova’s memoirs (the most expensive manuscript in history), via the Statue of Liberty’s nose and an X-ray of Marilyn Monroe’s chest, here is a remarkable record of some of the quirkiest, most unexpected and sometimes bizarre possessions that have changed hands in the last year – some costing millions, some only pennies (or even nothing at all). Ranging from rare historical artefacts (such as Marie-Antoinette’s pearls) to the weirdly iconic (Elvis’s medicine cabinet, anyone?), by turns ingenious, intriguing and witty, this is a brilliant and teasing insight into the culture of our time, packed with extraordinary things to amuse, inspire or amaze.
