McCree discusses it all, from flea-typecasting to flea enterprise. One of the best written books on flea markets - ever! This little book is a goldmine that packs a punch replete with valuable tips and tricks-o-the-trade for sellers, sleuths and professional fleas. It's a real tribute to the art of the flea market and an absolute must for flea devotees.
