Collecting Under the Radar

Last spring's outstanding new guide to tomorrow's antiques is now available in a classy paperback with flaps. This is the time to appreciate hidden value. Here, two experts clue us in to the stuff we have stashed in our basements or garages that may be worth more than you think. It's also indispensable to finding treasures in tag sales and secondhand shops. The well-organized reference brims with surprising prizes---from early snapshots or phone cards to bits of NASA booty---as well as important aesthetic and market pointers on every thing from Arts-and-Crafts tiles to Zulu telephone-wire baskets. Don't leave home for the flea market without it.
