Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Dog lovers and kitsch fans watch out: this goofy little giftbook-cum-photo album is stocked to the gills (or should we say whiskers?) with photographs of vintage pooch doorstops, salt-and-pepper shakers, paintings, books and toys. It's "always junking season" for Leiner and Moss, the former a freelance writer and publicist and the latter the author of Hello Kitty, Hello Everything, and they chronicle their flea market finds in chirpy, pun-laden and alliterative paragraphs. Think of items like "puppy potholders, terrier textiles," "woof woof wearables" and "Fido photographs"-and pronouncements along the lines of "no bones about it." For readers who can stomach the prose-or who just like the vibrant pictures-this book is a gold mine of secondhand canine treasures. The photo captions and bits of history (about Marguerite Kirmse, for example, an early 20th century illustrator) are more sedate, and a "Go Fetch" section at the end points readers to antique stores and flea markets around the country.
Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Product Description
The first and only guide to this popular collectible category, this irresistibly illustrated volume offers inspiration and information for both first-time collectors and serious dog devotees. Readers will also be delighted by Go Fetch, a comprehensive resource guide of the best shops, websites, flea markets, and antiques malls nationwide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dog junk and canine collectibles, December 10, 2002
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Dog junk and canine collectibles haven't received their own collectibles guidebook before: enter Flea Market Fidos, a unique guide to canine collectibles which covers everything from dog drawings, to crafts and stuffed animals. Besides history and values, Flea Market Fidos also covers the best shops, flea markets, and web sites for locating canine valuables.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Other "Best Friend", July 27, 2003
By A Customer
I just purchased this magical book. I couldn't put it down. The photos were amazing and the writing was so clever and unique. Each page brought a new smile and warm feeling. I am going to order one for each of my friends and family. I can't think of a nicer gift to send someone than this special book. In my home, it's my other "best friend ".

2.0 out of 5 stars Flea Market Fidos: The Dish on Dog Junk & Canine Collectibles, September 22, 2005
This book explored the 'types' of canine collectibles one might find in the marketplace, but it didn't address the 'value' of these collectibles, which would have been much more insightful. The content was purely fluff with little substance to offer a true collector.
