Product Description
ANTICS is a delight to read, with witty, engaging tales about the men and women who people America's flea markets and antiques malls, from the high-end shops to the five-n-dime swaps. What's more, it's an instruction manual for collectors, offering up how-to's and other secrets of the trade. What makes this collection of loosely-related short stories so extraordinary is the large scope of antiquing knowledge set forth by the author. As a dynamic cast of complex characters try to figure out their romantic relationships, they continue to buy and sell the items that bind them. A few plots stray to more bizarre, even macabre, dealings. Overall, a sense of authenticity and deep caring about humanity and its precious objects prevails.
