Maureen Stanton's WEATHERVANES AND OPIUM BOTTLES to Penguin

Eamon Dolan at Penguin Press won at auction World English rights to Maureen Stanton’s debut work, tentatively titled WEATHERVANES AND OPIUM BOTTLES; The Passions and Perils of Collecting Stuff.  From the populist mayhem of flea markets to the tightly controlled realm of collectors at auction, Stanton unveils the rich, often outrageous subculture of antiques and collectibles. Wendy Strothman of the Strothman Agency, LLC made the sale.
