This book means a lot to me and I've bought it for many friends of my son who is described beautifully in the book, as an avid flea market customer and someone who then went on to have his own auction gallery in the neighborhood. It's an accurate description of a lost world that once was the life-blood of the dealers, pickers and collectors.
