From the mind of Broad City​’s Abbi Jacob­son a won­der­ful­ly weird and weird­ly won­der­ful illus­trat­ed look at the world around us — all through the frame­work of what we car­ry.

With bright, quirky, and col­or­ful line draw­ings, Jacob­son brings to life actu­al and imag­ined items found in the pock­ets and purs­es, bags and glove com­part­ments of real and fan­tas­ti­cal peo­ple — whether it’s the con­tents of Oprah’s favorite purse, Amelia Earhart’s pen­cil case, or Bernie Madoff’s suit­case.

How many self-tan­ning lotions are in Don­ald Trump’s week­ender? What’s inside Martha Stewart’s hand-knit fan­ny pack? What kind of pro­tein bars does Michelle Oba­ma hide in her tiny clutch at the White House Cor­re­spon­dents’ Din­ner? Car­ry This Book pro­vides a humor­ous and insight­ful look into how the things we car­ry around every day can make up who we are.
