Must-Have Book For Anyone Who Shops On The Internet

I heard the author giving an interview on the radio and I looked up her book more out of curiosity than anything else. She was right-this book is a gem! I've been shopping online for years but I learned a few valuable tips in the opening chapters. The 1,500+ site listings are great. They range from common sites that everyone's heard of to new and different sites where you can find amazing merchandise. I loved the fact that the author listed the phone number and e-mail address of every site and also rated the sites for security, service, convenience, and so on. I loved the writing style too. This is a must-have book for anyone who shops on the Internet.

Great Shopping Resource and Fun to Read!

I bought this book on a whim and it's paid me back big time. The book contains lots of helpful online shopping tips. The best part of the book is the thousands of web site listings - each one written in a bright, funny way. I love reading this book just for the clever reviews and have found so many exciting and different Web sites, along with the more traditional ones and sites I already knew about. Each site is rated, which helps too. The holiday season is coming up fast-this book is going to make this year's shopping a whole lot easier.
