David Lindsay tours the typical home to examine the most taken-for-granted objects, and finds incredible stories behind everyday items. From the intercom, the letterbox, the microwave oven, pencils, ballpoint pens, sticky tape, and Post-its to the screw thread, the yo-yo, blue jeans, zippers, and even condoms, here are the fascinating stories of the quotidian objects whose history is little known.
