May Ask the Author Event: Live Chat with Bruce...

On Tuesday, May 29 from 1PM-3PM (ET) we will welcome Garage Sale America's Bruce Littlefield for a live chat as an Ask The Author guest on Gather.com

Bruce Littlefield is a New York based designer, writer, and restaurateur who Publisher's Weekly recently deemed America's "design and lifestyle guru." He's the author of Airstream Living (Collins Design, 2005) and wrote the best-selling Use What You've Got with the "Queen of New York Real Estate," Barbara Corcoran. Bruce has owned and created two successful restaurants in the Catskills, as well as a disco-themed laundromat. His renovation of a 1940s farmhouse and bungalow colony (a la Dirty Dancing) done completely in garage sale finds has been featured in numerous magazines.

Garage Sale, Yard Sale, Tag Sale, Rummage Sale, Estate Sale, Barn Sale... they all mean one thing - BARGAINS - and America loves them. In Garage Sale America Bruce Littlefield takes you on a voyeuristic adventure into homes and lives across America to discover everything we love to buy, sell, and collect - one sale at a time.

Renting a truck and toting a sack full of a thousand crisp one-dollar bills, Littlefield hunts his way across America from the World's Longest Yard Sale to the World's Biggest Garage Sale - not to mention every barn sale, stoop sale, estate sale, and tag sale in between. Detailed photographs offer an in - depth look at a wide range of collectibles, while a wealth of first-person stories from garage salers and expert collectors offer insight to the art of the bargain-with loads of trade secrets thrown in for free. Littlefield also shows how to incorporate unique, must-have buys into every room in the home through a virtual walk-through tour of his 1940s farmhouse that he decorated with garage sale finds. A month-by-month guide to the best sales around the country and a garage sale glossary round out this entertaining volume that offers fun, sale smarts, and infectious enthusiasm on every page. A true find for beginning and experienced collectors!
