Read some of the 5 Star Reviews:"I thought this book is so valuable, I bought 100 copies and gave them to every dealer in the antique mall I own/manage. I couldn't sleep for 2 nights because I was so excited about all the tips that the author offered in it. A fantastic book!""As a dealer who really didn't think I could learn anything new that might help me make money, I'm happy to say I did! Got great tips, some things I did know but had pushed to the back of my mind and needed to be brought back front and center.""I never could have imagined how much psychology and actual engineering is required to both create an "enticing" display and effectively SELL one's offerings... Here's a book, (actually a template), that would surely benefit anyone wishing to hone their retail sales skills....Truly an absorbing read!""Not only very informative, and inspiring, it covers little things that get forgotten so easily like attitude toward potential customers, booth layout, vehicle parking, etc. I could write more and more but if you can get a copy it will repay you many times over.""Through these 400 tips, (the author) has shared her expert knowledge, even giving safety tips that I found very valuable. She pointed out how naive we can be, unknowingly setting ourselves up for theft. This jewel of a book is well worth the price!""Her writing is excellent, easy to follow and is sprinkled with a generous dose of humor. I would recommend this book to anyone in the antique business and anyone who gets involved with any form of booth displays for any profession. If only one or two tips are gained, and implemented, it is well worth the purchase.""I'm reading the book for the second time, it's on my bedside table. It inspires me. So many aspects to this business -- such a broad skill set is needed, most of which do not come naturally. Having this book has honed my skills and I'm selling better and smarter."This terrific new book will enlighten and engage you. The handbook covers all aspects of being an antique dealer.

We want to keep our customer base satisfied -- and yet insatiable. And also help draw the twenty- and thirty-somethings into our market. If we all do our very best to provide the kind of upbeat environment that engages people and shows them antiques are not only fascinating, but fun, we'll be able to ride through the doldrums of the economy. This book is designed to help dealers do that, improving their bottom line in the process." BOOK IS BRAND NEW, AND OFFERED FOR A 1.00 OFF THE COVER PRICE.
