{"product_id":"the-madison-picker-mark-clay-grove-9781494786670","title":"The Madison Picker: The Picker Series","description":"The Madison Picker is a witty and heartwarming semi-autobiographical novel based on the author's own day-to-day experiences as an antiques dealer and collector over four decades. The book's characters are Charles and Emma Dawes. Emma is a Peruvian beauty and certified interpreter. The two met on Match. Other than Charles having more hair than the author, most of the facts are real-world and the anecdotes are not exaggerated. The two live in Barboursville, Virginia and travel far and wide to search for anything that they can buy low to sell high. In this first title in the Picker Series they travel to Culpeper, Charlottesville, Lexington, Woodstock, Edinburg, Harrisonburg, Brownsburg, and then they jet down to Key West with their two pals where Emma goes shopping while Charles pursues bonefish. They drive back picking antiques along the way. Picker reads more like a travelogue than a novel; there's NO plot and NO climax. If you like Public Television's Antiques Roadshow, you'll probably find a thing or two that you like about The Madison Picker.
