Customer Reviews

Avoid this book, good as it is.

This book, the third edition of a worthy effort, has been superseded by Howard's GET CLARK SMART (2000), which is the fourth edition, with numerous changes and updates. The more recent book is published with no reference to the earlier editions and under a different title, so the unwary consumer is liable to buy either the outdated edition, or (as in my case) both editions, without realizing that he's getting two versions of the same book. This is ironic, given the author's reputation as a consumer advisor.

excellent, saves the consumer $$$$, 1st book written for me

This book has saved me major $ from the sale of my home to the purchase of a new one. Mr. Howard cover it all from credit cards, credit reports, buying cars etc..... This book was written for me (the consumer)and I will recomend that all my friends buy, plus I have bought serveral copies for Christmas gifts...

great advice, easy reading, good web addresses

Clark takes his talk show and puts it into book form for those who can't hear him. This geek can speak, and his simple tips will save you money, time, aggrevation and embarassment. Buy it for someone who needs tips but is too lazy or shy too ask! He has a crack staff behind him, and while they differ on saving money, they all know they owe Clark a huge thanx for taking them to Italy for $200 apiece. One money-saving idea will pay for the book, and your friends will literally start calling you "Clark".

Clark ComesThrough!

Clarks newest book is excellent!!! Well written andeasy to read. It is a good read cover to cover, or as a flip thorughreference for what you need at the current time. This book has already saved me the purchase price. However, a word of Clark like advice: I bought mine at costco and Clark even signed it. Dennis

An excellent consumer guide

This book should be the most dog-eared volume in any household where watching finances is a priority. Howard and Meltzer explain the ins and outs of consumer issues in an easy-to-understand and thorough manner. As co-author of a consumer book (Debt Free: Your Guide to Personal Bankruptcy Without Shame), I recommend this guide. John M. Caher
