5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference, November 22, 2003

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

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.
