Authors Les &\; Sue Fox will be Appraising Art on Sunday\, June 3rd at 1. They will also be signing their new book\, The Art Hunter's Handbook.
New York Times bestselling authors Les and Sue Fox have been art and rare coin experts for 40 years. Their unique Art Auction Partnership program has connected them to thousands of average Americans\, like Alison Beldsoe of North Carolina who found a 1930's painting by Fern Coppedge at her hot dog stand. The Foxes appraised it for her\, at no charge\, and six months later the painting was sold at auction for $29\,800. Les and Sue live in New Jersey\, which gives them close access to 20 million people\, as well as the New York art and auction market. However\, today anything that can happen in real life can happen on the internet.
The Art Hunters Handbook is an Antiques Roadshow type book that reveals Trade Secrets to hunting down valuable paintings at garage sales and flea markets. The cover photo is the true story of Ripening Pears\, a 19th century masterpiece by Joseph Decker bought at a garage sale for $5 and sold to the National Gallery of Art for $1\,000\,000! Will you find a million-dollar painting for five bucks? Probably not. But you might find a $5\,000 painting for $100. Think Of This Book As A Lottery Ticket\, the Foxes claim\, With Better Odds. The Art Hunters Handbook is a profusely illustrated art book for the average person\, not just art collectors\, who'd like to make money while having fun.

Under the direction of famed explorer Porter Stone\, an archaeological team is secretly attempting to locate the tomb of an ancient pharaoh who was unlike any other in history. Stone believes he has found the burial chamber of King Narmer\, the near mythical god- king who united upper and lower Egypt in 3200 B.C.\, and the archaeologist has reason to believe that the greatest prize of all--Narmer's crown--might be buried with him. No crown of an Egyptian king has ever been discovered\, and Narmer's is the elusive "\;double"\; crown of the two Egypts\, supposedly pos-sessed of awesome powers.
The dig itself is located in one of the most forbidding places on earth--the Sudd\, a nearly impassable swamp in north-ern Sudan. Amid the nightmarish\, disorienting tangle of mud and dead vegetation\, a series of harrowing and inexpli-cable occurrences are causing people on the expedition to fear a centuries- old curse. With a monumental discovery in reach\, Professor Jeremy Logan is brought onto the project to investigate. What he finds will raise new questions . . . and alarm.
In the hands of master storyteller Lincoln Child\, "\;The Third Gate"\; breaks new ground and introduces a fascinating new protagonist to the thriller world.
