Selling Dead People's Things: Inexplicably True Tales, Vintage Fails & Objects of Objectionable Estates, Paperback/Duane Scott Cerny

Descriere & specificații

SELLING DEAD PEOPLE'S THINGS is a wry, behind-the-curtain peek into the world of antiques and their obsessive owners--while still alive and after their passing. An amusing observer of the human condition, author Duane Scott Cerny entertains in illuminating, scary, sad, or frightfully funny resale tales and essays. Whether processing the estate of a hoarding beekeeper, disassembling the retro remains of an infamous haunted hospital, or conducting an impromptu appraisal during a shiva gone disturbingly wrong, every day is a twisted treasure hunt for this twenty-first-century antiques dealer. While digging deep into the basements, attics, and souls of the most interesting collectors imaginable, traveling from one odd house call to the curious next, resale predicaments will confound your every turn. Be careful where you step, watch what you touch, and gird your heart--Antiques Roadshow, this ain't
