内容説明
For anyone who reads the local Pennysaver or swap sheet, for anyone who can't drive by a yard sale without turning in, for anyone on lookout for treasures in Grandma's attic, or for anyone who just likes to collect - welcome to "American Junk," the bible for a new generation of foragers." Author Mary Randolph Carter, herself a passionate "junker, " takes us on a tour of tag sales, auctions, and flea markets around the country, where she and other devotees of the sport have discovered unique and remarkable items that they then transform from bargains to prized booty. She introduces us to and takes us into the homes of these unusually creative people, who share her belief that thrift, economy, and ingenuity translate into high style indeed. There are before-and-after pictures, tips on repair and storage hints on how to bargain, ideas for themed collections and even a list of what to bring on junking expeditions. The author reveals the price of almost every one of the hundreds and hundreds of items pictured, and best of all provides a directory to more than two "junking sites" nationwide. "American Junk" is a one-of-a-kind book for those who appreciate the rare, the idiosyncratic, and the unexpected - those who realize that there are as many kinds of junk as there are individuals.

表紙が暗い感じなので、かわいいjunkを求めてる人は敬遠するかもしれませんが、中には花柄リネンや食器、エナメルウェアなど可愛らしいカントリーチックなjunkも紹介されてます。他にもメキシカン、ヨーロッパなどなどいろんなタイプのジャンクスタイルが紹介されていてとっても参考になりました。

アメリカンジャンクファンには，すごくお勧めだと思います．ヨーロッパのアンティークと違い，どこかに転がってそうな物や，昔見たことのあるような懐かしい物など，身近に感じられる写真がいっぱいです。かわいらしい感じのカラフルなものよりは，落ち着いたイメージや，ハードなウエスタン調のもの，ブリキ物などが多いです。日本ではあまり見かけないような雑貨も載ってるので，楽しいです。インテリアの参考にも良いと思います!

One man's Martha Stewart is another's Mary Randolph Carter
1999/12/19
形式:マスマーケット
Indeed, Mary Randolph Carter is a kindred spirit to anyone who finds Martha Stewart's ideas too pricey and exclusive. This eye-boggling array of color, texture and whimsy is not only helpful to those of us who appreciate junk treasures, but also inspiring simply as a visual workout; Carter's way with disparate objects and her eye for composition is helpful to anyone contemplating any interior project, whether dealing in new OR vintage. One of my all-time favorites and one I consult again and again, whenever I want to wriggle free my artistic sensibilities.

fabulous help in finding one-of-a-kind treasures
1999/8/18
形式:ハードカバー
Fabulous! Fabulous! Fabulous! As a decorator/designer this wonderful book was just a marvelous help to me in finding and paying the right price for those one-of-a-kind treasures clients just love you to death for. I found most of Ms. Carter's tips on junk just ever so clever; the type that make you say "now why didn't I think of that". And the wonderful color photos alone make this book something you'll want to keep looking at over and over.

Fun to Give and Receive
2002/1/29
形式:マスマーケット
American Junk is not a how-to book as its subtitle suggests. Far more specific advice about hunting and haggling is available in flea market directories, and there really is no rescue or transformation involved: items acquired move directly to the table top, shelf, desk, floor, wherever. This is a celebration of cheap old stuff that others might ignore or take pains to avoid, an annointment of its value by someone of influence (the author is a vice president at Ralph Lauren, I believe). It's a quasi aesthetic, with loving photographs of the items in assembled in haphazard tableaus. It is of an innocent age, published before e-bay seized collectibles from the trash, before absolutely everybody got into flea market hunt, before Antiques Roadshow--and that was less than 10 years ago! The author does not explain to a doubter's satisfaction how one lives and cleans with so much stuff. Not all of it is really junk, of course--a vintage set of Zane Grey novels, some folk art carving, old textiles are not what I'd call junk. Dirty old Tupperware or small harvest gold appliances that no longer work are what I call junk and they are not to be found in this book. Ah, well; it is fun to give or receive, but take the author's approach and try to get it cheap.
