I have dozens of different collections. I've bought from thrift stores, flea markets, yard sales, and antiques malls. Ms. McCarthy still offered me some insight into buying and selling collectibles and furniture. She covers buying antiques on the internet, making easy repairs to items you purchase, cashing in your collections, dealer's habitats, bidding and winning at auctions, and ways to tell if an item is genuine or "fake". There is also a listing of several antiques shops that are given according to general area of the U.S. The author includes helpful publications and resources in the back of her book. I recommend this reading to novice dealers and collectors. It's an easy and fun book to read. Keep your highlighting pen handy!
