Killer Stuff and Tons of Money

Killer Stuff and Tons of Money: An Insider’s Look at the World of Flea Markets, Antiques and Collecting by Maureen Stanton

Description from Amazon:

“Whether it’s Antiques Roadshow or American Pickers, or any of the number of TV shows on flea markets, the world of collecting inspires a cult following of millions of Americans. Celebrated author Maureen Stanton takes readers behind the scenes and deep into the “flea-o-sphere,” following master antiques dealer Curt Avery from the populist mayhem of flea markets, to the rarefied realm of high-end antiques shows, to the heart-pounding competition of auctions. Killer Stuff and Tons of Money is a captivating tour of the outrageous world of American antiques, jam-packed with colorful characters, high-stakes scores, and insider tips for all who seek hidden treasure.”

My thoughts:

I love this hobby. I don’t go antiquing nearly enough, but when I do I love the feeling of finding unique treasures. This is a great book for the collector.
