For light reading and for anyone who likes the TV show, Antiques Roadshow, I recommend The Madison Picker, a semi-autobiographical novel that reads like a travelogue. The main character is a US/UK dual national, second generation antiques collector and dealer, with a Peruvian spouse. They scout high and low for stuff to sell (including early images likes these and more to come as time allows). Its how they make a living. They are pickers! Available as an eBook, paperback, large print paperback. Hardback with jacket in late development. Spanish editions mid 2015. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: COMMENTS from professionals in the world of antiques: ...................................................................................................................
