I work for publishers Dorling Kindersley and we are running a competition inviting people to tell us about an extraordinary, or ordinary, object they own that has an amazing story surrounding it.

The object might be something that currently lives in a garage, loft or attic, but tells an incredible story. The most unique and inspirational objects will be shortlisted and then an ultimate winner will feature in the book when it is published.

For all the information about the competition just visit www.AllThisBook.com, and all entries need to be submitted by Wednesday 28th January.
