00:00 A passion for antique and vintage items, as well as the stories they tell, run deep for
00:05 father-daughter duo Athel Salter and Jane Crowley.
00:09 After hearing many of these adventures over the years, Jane wanted to document them for
00:13 her family and wanted to share them with others.
00:16 If you had to sell and pitch the memoir, how would you sell it to people?
00:21 Oh, that's tricky.
00:23 I would say it's a trip down memory lane for anyone who loves vintage or wants to learn
00:34 about vintage or is interested in just how business was back in the 1960s.
00:45 Athel has more than 60 years experience in the biz and has come across many unique items
00:50 and many quirky characters on his antique journeys across the globe.
00:56 What do you want people to get out of reading?
00:59 I think a lot of fun and probably just to be able to learn what being an antique dealer
01:09 in the past has been all about and still at the present, I suppose.
01:15 To enjoy the stories that Jane has written and just to enjoy it, in other words, to thoroughly
01:24 enjoy it.
