Flea Market Fidos: The Dish On Dog Junk And Canine Collectibles

Flea Market Fidos is a first of its kind guide to hunting down canine collectibles and giving them pride of place in your home. From paint-by-number terriers to Diana Thorne dog drawings, this irresistibly illustrated volume offers inspiration and information for both first-time collectors and serious dog devotees.

Canine categories are illustrated with more than 200 flea market photos and include Puppy Love (a litter of lovable dog collectibles for children), Pup Art (puppy paintings and dog drawings), Ruff Stuff (stuffed dogs of every breed), Paper Trained (ephemera finds), and Real Tails (a celebration of the loyal road-trip rovers who accompany their owners on junking journeys). Readers will also be delighted by Go Fetch, a comprehensive resource guide of the best shops, websites, flea markets, and antiques malls nationwide.

Authors and best friends Leiner and Moss have spent almost 20 years searching the world for canine treasures, discovering and photographing litter after vintage litter of flea market fidos -- and defining the breed along the way.
