![]() At one time my stepmother owned an antique store, and a member of my extended family is a whole lot like Curt, only on a much smaller scale. My parents were really into antiquing when I was growing up. Now, I know a moderate amount about antique dealing. It’s a fascinating journey, not only because one gets a detailed glimpse of this sub-culture, if you will, but because of the history involved. The author follows Curt Avery, an antiques dealer, (not his real name), over an extended period, observing him ply his trade, while giving us a few lessons about antiques in the process. ![]() ![]() Killer Stuff and Tons of Money: Seeking History and Hidden Gems in Flea-Market America by Maureen Stanton is a 2011 Penguin Press publication.įirstly, I want to thank my Goodreads friend Amy for putting this book on my radar. ![]()
