You do not need deep pockets or oodles of time: using Don Williams's simple instructions, you can preserve anything quickly and inexpensively. In Saving Stuff, he demystifies preservation and presents easy, foolproof methods anyone can use to save nearly everything, including:
- Photographs -- in print and digital form

- Furniture -- whether it's painted, varnished, or upholstered
- Family heirlooms -- from silver to rugs to wedding dresses
- Sports and political memorabilia -- trading cards, posters, equipment, buttons, stickers
- Attic leftovers -- scrapbooks, military uniforms, medals
- Musical instruments
- Fine art -- oil paintings, etchings, lithographs
- Printed matter -- comic books, magazines, old letters
- And much, much more
