Ms. Peake's comprehensive guide to starting a homebased antiques business was very helpful. Not only does she cover the basics of overhead and markup, as well as possible sources of antiques for resale, but she also addresses a number of important considerations before one even thinks about getting into the business.

This book is a must-read for anyone considering opening an antiques shop, homebased or otherwise. Reviewer: A reader from Nebraska, 1999
