Description

In a country of junk-filled attics, yard sales, and flea markets frequented by millions of Antiques Roadshow viewers hoping to uncover a grungy chest of drawers worth millions, the Keno twins have become the Siskel and Ebert of antiques. Dapper, witty, and in their early forties (with nearly 60 years of combined experience between them), they symbolize the union of amateur enthusiasm and acute professionalism that has made their television program a cultural phenomenon. Now, in this fascinating collection of tales of their personal adventures hunting -- and discovering -- priceless 'junk' (including some notable Roadshow success stories), readers will learn how to see the extraordinary in the mundane. 'Hidden Treasures' is part history lesson and part treasure map for finding valuable antiques where they would be least expected. Leigh and Leslie Keno, featured experts on the popular 'Antiques Road Show', share their amazing stories about discovering rare treasures of American antique furniture in the least likely places. Illustrated throughout with beautifully detailed color photos, 'Hidden Treasures' is part history lesson and part treasure map for finding obscure, valuable antiques where they would be least expected.
