Leigh and Leslie Keno, featured experts on the popular PBS Antiques Road Show, share their amazing stories discovering rare treasures of American antique furniture in the least likely places.

In a country of junk-filled attics, yard sales, and flea markets frequented by millions of Antiques Road Show viewers hoping to uncover a grungy chest of drawers worth millions, the Keno twins have become the Siskel and Ebert of antiques. Dapper, witty, and in their early forties (with nearly 60 years of combined experience between them), they symbolize the union of amateur enthusiasm and acute professionalism that has made the television program on which they appear a cultural phenomenon. Now, in this fascinating collection of tales of their personal adventures hunting-and discovering-priceless junk (including some notable Road Show success stories), listeners will learn how to see the extraordinary in the mundane. Illustrated throughout with beautifully detailed color photographs of priceless antiques, many taken on-site at the moment of discovery, Hidden Treasures is part history lesson and part treasure map for finding obscure, valuable antiques where they would be least expected.
