After many years, I finally picked up (and read!) a copy of Mr Wilson's Cabinet of Wonder, Lawrence Weschler's essay on the Museum of Jurassic Technology in Culver City.
I have enjoyed a membership at the musuem for several years -- one look at their unequalled collection of Hagop Sandaljian's microminiature sculptures convinced me! --
Although Josh carefully called 'round to a bevy of bookstores in Marin and San Francisco, he couldn't find a copy of Mr Wilson's Cabinet of Wonder on the day that he mentioned it (and a few years after our collective first visit to the museum and the nearby Indian take-away, also detailed in the book). It was again at Dutton's in Brentwood that a woman, eavesdropping on my conversation with a woman wearing a Mattress Factory t-shirt, mentioned the book. And they had a copy in stock, in the North ("Science") Room, along with a DVD of the museum's exhibits (which I haven't yet watched).
