There is an excellent feature in this weeks Entertainment Weekly magazine #959/960 (October 19, 2007) by Tom Schierlitz & Josh Rottenberg, “The Things They Carried”. The full article should be accessible by the time the next issue hits the stands HERE.
It is great to see original props and wardrobe featured in such a respectful way in a mainstream magazine. Given the wide variety of ownership sources, the pair behind the article obviously put a great deal of effort in putting this together.
I would highly recommend picking up an issue as a keepsake. I have scanned the article below for a preview (not great quality since the thin pages bleed through; click each for larger images):
Here are the articles assembled into one PDF file: LINK
Again, I’d recommend visiting the EW.com site in the next few weeks to get a better quality version of the article…
