Please help me remember the name of this book!?

I had this coffee table-style book a few years ago that was so very neat: basically it consisted of photographs of objects the author had found (or that other people had sent in to him) - the one thing that sticks out in my mind the most was a part of a -thumb- someone had found near a bridge in ... hmm, Germany, I believe?

Anyway, if anybody recognizes this book I would LOVE to hear from you (I lost my copy when I moved and am completely blanking on its title or author) - if it helps, I believe it came out in 2004 or maybe early 2005, and while I could be wrong about this I THINK the author had either dedicated it to a friend who had died of AIDS, or was donating a portion of the proceeds from the book to AIDS research ... does this ring a bell with anybody?

    Try heading to your local book store and asking. They might know, or if the book has gone out of print. If it came out in 2004 or 2005, then I wouldn't think so. Just ask around at local stores or just poke around. There's always the internet, lol. Try Barns&Noble.com or Amazon.com.

    Good luck.
