This book was a walk with my kind of people through my kind of world doing my kind of thing , so if you are not into being the first dog at the door at 3 am or 5 am practically drooling at the idea of finding that next amazing antique, this book may not be as wonderful a read to you as it has been for me.The author, who is not a crazy picker, antique hunter, or seller of the rare and real, follows a man who has done his homework, and knows the ins, outs, up and downs of the business. Her purpose is to study this world and write about it in such a manner that the reader can feel the excitement of a buyer as they are feeling the wet dew on their shoes, still dark outside, coffee cup in one hand, flashlight in other hand, working , looking for the next item that will be part of their bread and butter. This is part of the world of us crazy people who sell and buy at flea markets, antique shows.The author brings to light the endless hours of research it takes to hopefully educate ourselves so we don't buy a reproduction, or miss a flaw that makes a piece worthless and, how to tell the real from the fake, , keeping up with what is selling for top dollar today, because tomorrow it may plummet in value and you are left holding an item until its value swings up again, and praying all the while, that the value on the item goes up again in your lifetime.Many of those who love this business and would rather do this than anything else are true lovers of the artistry that goes in to these old pieces. You will not find the kind of quality of material and craftsmanship in todays furniture, lamps, books , or anything else. We will by a piece of finely crafted 19th century silver for an amount we may or may not recover rather than see it go to the buyer who melts down these one of a kind pieces for the value of the silver content. If you have that knowing ,gnawing, feeling inside that once these pieces are gone our world has lost a piece of history, and it is an insult to the craftsmen who labored over making these things with patience, pride and love of their craft, and hours, weeks, months of dedication , you are a born collector, you have the disease, and you will have so much pleasure finding, saving, selling, or keeping these treasures. And that means you will love this book.
I think I was expecting a bit less narrative and more product/item descriptions and advice in this book. Instead, what I got was even better! This book is a treasure trove wrapped in a fascinating life story. Maureen Stanton immersed herself in the world of the "picker" with zeal making friends along the way.Through the use of aliases Stanton expertly tells the story of veteran antique/collectible seller/picker, Curt Avery, whom she has followed for years, watching him as he has climbed the ranks from low-level rookie to highly knowledgeable antique dealer pushing for the big leagues. A refreshing change, Avery is as free with his advice and expert knowledge as he is with his inexperience and what he doesn't know! Instead of "fake it 'till you make it" Curt lets Maureen know when he has made mistakes and when he doesn't know something so the reader can learn from that as well.Taking us on a page turning journey traveling from show to show filled with that specific product knowledge that I was seeking we go along with Avery and Stanton with small side trips to visit other experts. I received more than my fill of expected item knowledge - MY BOOK IS CHOCK FULL OF POST IT NOTES, HIGHLIGHTS, AND UNDERLINING! I can't put the book down... what show will we go to next, will Curt decide to go to a high-end show, if so does he do well? Stanton does a great job drawing the reader into Curt's story so that we can learn from this quirky, likable expert.Killer Stuff and Tons of Money is a great, knowledge-packed read that is worth the price.
Fascinating combination of "how-to", history and just plain great story telling. Maureen Stanton reveals the insider's view of the Massachusetts flea market scene. Behind every find and purchase there's a story. One generation's helpful household gadgets, tools and decorative items become another generation's priceless treasures. Relive the "eureka" moments with the buyers and sellers. Then ponder the back stories of the sellers, collectors, museum curators, knowledgeable treasure hunters and clueless tourists. Meet the craftsmen, the historians, the auctioneers, the cheaters and the honest vendors who are just trying to make a living doing something they love. Learn something and be entertained. What more can you ask for?
This book is about collecting and the world of antiques, but even if you think you aren't particularly interested in these topics, you will find yourself immersed in the world of the antique dealer and engaged with the fascinating characters in this book. They could be characters in a work of fiction, but are indeed real people. Bits of history are woven into the story in an interesting way along with the author's personal experience as she travels the antique show circuit with Curt Avery, an antiques dealer. You will learn about the history of collecting, of some of the antiques themselves, what's involved in becoming a top dealer of antiques, the trials and tribulations of making a living doing this, all written in a humorous, entertaining way. It reads more like a story than a work of nonfiction. I found myself wanting to find out what happens next. The author has a knack for describing the detail of a situation so one can clearly picture it and put oneself in the scene. The lengthy notes at the end give evidence of the extensive research the author did for a wide variety of topics. This book will appeal to a wide variety of readers.
