    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Welcome to my new series, called “I spent thirty-thousand man hours trying to find just the right [insert item: eg pen-holder, red lipstick, dishwasher] because I’m apparently very particular, and if I don’t write a post all about the things I found along the way before I hit jackpot I’ll have to start questioning my life choices, because what sane person spends that much time and effort researching just one item?”This week it’s desks.
