[QUOTE="TT Antique, post: 3822020, member: 2653"]thanks all with the replies... -the problem with the "book scout" term is that it has also the other definition whereby " a book in one language or market is brought to the attention of a publisher in another language or market..from wiki" hence it may create a confusion though if the general term "antique scout" (if there is such a term) may not have that misunderstanding.. --"dumpster diving" is a particular activity of looking for worthwhile antiques near dumpsters hence is not necessarily representative of someone who may go to flea markets, thrift stores etc looking for treasures.. --I loved the Lovejoy British films ..infact i was recently watching it,,By the way there is a rumor that it may be resurrected again soon remodeled to fit the 21st century audience.. There must be a a term coined for such activity ..I know in the US "antique Picker" is used as there is a reality TV series also with that name..but would prefer "scout" than "picker" though "scout" creates confusion when it comes to books... Why dont we create a brand new term ourselves ? :) TTA[/QUOTE]
