Author Gladys Montgomery specializes in architecture, period interiors, historic preservation, travel, and here she sews them all together with informed details on where to look for antiques across America. Divided into regions; the Mid-Atlantic section covers New York City as well as quainter locations like Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. In her South section she provides heartening news of the rapid recovery of New Orleans's antiques traders since Hurricane Katrina. Well illustrated descriptions of where to stay while on the road bring to light some of America’s most charming accommodations -- from arts and crafts style cottages to neoclassical plantation houses. Montgomery also introduces us to some less than obvious antiquing locations, e.g, around Disneyland in Florida, because, she says, "you never know where something fabulous will turn up."
