Love the TV show, but the book falls a bit short submitted by doctorfang on July 22, 2014, 4:26pm If you love the American Pickers TV show, then you'll probably mildly like this book. I expected it to be full of more advice or tips on picking, but it is more of a compendium of various finds they've already shown on the show. Some behind-the-scenes photos of Mike's home are interesting, though!
