Pass the Sick Bag! Why I Published a Book on the Art of the Airline Essential
One evoked a hellish trip from Delhi after passengers had drunk unsanitary water. Another conjured up an era when planes were thick with cigarette smoke. And one man collected them all…
TL;DR
- The author created a book called "Sicko" based on Trevor Cunningham's collection of airline sick bags.
- Cunningham started collecting sick bags in 1989 to honor his boss, Peter, who died from a brain aneurysm.
- The collection, now over 150 bags, includes items from defunct airlines and serves as a diary of Cunningham's travels and experiences.
- Memories shared include observations of welders using Coke bottles as eye shields and a harrowing account of severe vomiting after drinking unsanitary water.
- The author self-published "Sicko," which sold out on its first day, highlighting a shared appreciation for unique collections and finding significance in everyday objects.
