Mr. Gilplume (also known as "Bucky") is considered the greatest expert on novelty caps north of the Mason-Dixon line. He is the author of several books, including "'Hat Head': A Tragedy In One Part". His favorite artist? "It's a dead heat between Vermeer and the guy who did the oil-on-velvet portrait of Ricardo Montalban in my living room."

Ms. Sandshrew-Machop lives and works in the charming Notting Hill area of London, where she established her first of several antique shops in 1962. She spends her free time breeding award-winning King Charles Spaniels and stalking actor Alan Rickman (Die Hard, Sense and Sensibility).
