Book Description

U. S. Flea Market Directory June 12, 2000
In urban parking lots and open fields, the U.S. is covered in swap meets, trade days, and other varieties of the venerable flea market. Not all are created equal, however, and whether you're looking close to home or bargain-hunting on the road, the key to finding great flea markets is locating ones with the most variety and best quality. The U.S. Flea Market Directory separates the treasure from the junk by listing the best in each state - markets that are accessible and well-maintained, consistently attract the best vendors, and are worth your time. The U.S. Flea Market Directory features:

* The best markets in all 50 states and the District of Columbia
* Days and hours of operation and admission costs for each listing
* Driving directions and rates for vendors
* Special features and amenities available
* Types of merchandise and range of selection
* Contact information, including phone, fax, email, and web site when available

Fully indexed for easy reference and including maps of each state showing major cities and flea market destinations, the fully updated and revised U.S. Flea Market Directory is your guide to the best bargain shopping in America.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference, November 22, 2003
By 
merrymousies (Waterford, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: U.S. Flea Market Directory, 3rd Edition: A Guide to the Best Flea Markets in all 50 States (Paperback)
This is a really good book for finding flea markets. Each state is covered (a map shows the state at a glance and the key fleamarket towns shown) and for each flea market it says the town, address & directions to get there, dates/times when its open, cost of admission, features such as typical types of items you'll find there, number of booths, rates if you're a dealer and want to sell at the flea market, contact info and web site if they have one.

Really full - it was neat to see Wellfleet covered in here. When I was little my grandparents (who lived on Cape Cod) would take me there to browse through the stalls - I usually had a small allowance of a dollar or two to spend....thank goodness my allowance is bigger now :)

Anyway, great book, seems to be really complete although I've only gone to a few local flea markets that I can get to.

Definitely recommend this as I haven't found anything else that comes close to being as good

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, August 31, 2009
This review is from: U.S. Flea Market Directory, 3rd Edition: A Guide to the Best Flea Markets in all 50 States (Paperback)
As much appreciation I have for the thorough research of the writer and his attention to details this book is a safe phone directory that does not leave space to the imagination of antiques lovers. Boring.
