A delightful two-in-one guidebook, with many of the authors' favorite shops and stalls illustrated in color. The wares of hundreds of them are described, with notes about proprietors and their specialties and quirks. There are maps and directions for finding markets, tips on bargaining, and even suggestions for nearby cafes. --

Reader Reviews
Antique and Flea Markets of London and Paris is a book serious shoppers will love. While spending several summer months in London, I have visited a number of the markets described. The authors are right on target, and the photos are enjoyable. I learned about many features I've missed, and read about several new places to try on the next trip. The book realizes that shoppers are people, not machines, and tells a little about the market's surrounding area, especially places to stop for a snack and a rest.
