Garage Sale America

As a proud "Second Hand Rose" and garage sale fanatic, I simply had to have this book. It was OK, but not as exciting as I thought it might be. The description describes what it is. It doesn't hold many surprises beyond. More pages should have been devoted to describing his journeys, encounters, and finds than to listing major garage sale extravaganzas that may be out of date by next season. (It'd be nice to take one of those trips, though. *sigh*) I did enjoy the section on his interior decorating. (A single male middle-age designer in the Catskills who is proud to have a toy chest labeled "Butch" in the bedroom for the child he never had? How much more obvious about the author could we be?) Rated 4/5.
