An Unbelievably Good Book

If you're over 50, you'll wear this book out checking the great money-saving tips. Don't miss the chapters on vacations and airfares: Who knew Southwest Airlines has the best discounts for our age group! And there's so much more. This is an ideal gift for friends and relatives, too.

This Book Pays For Itself Many Times Over

UNBELIEVABLY GOOD DEALS AND GREAT ADVENTURES THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN'T GET UNLESS YOU'RE OVER 50 is by Joan Rattner Heilman (Contemporary Books). This book has been termed the "Bargain Hunter's Bible," and we agree. Joan tells us how to take advantage of every imaginable good deal in the travel industry: from airfares, hotels, rental cars, cruises, trains, buses, tours,skiing, parks, shopping, insurance, and even taxes. She tells how to join organizations which help get the best deals. Especially helpful is the section on how to get help and services in various places around the world. There are ideas for all types of travel, from luxury to economy, all at great savings. And there are many ideas which apply at home also, including ways to volunteer and special interest groups to join. This book is a must for anyone over 50.

Great deals!

For bargain hunters of a "mature age", this is a very complete guide.

Worth it for the phone numbers alone

This book does three things that make it a valuable present for people 50, 62, 65 and between and above. It lists all the kinds of things you can get a discount on, from travel onward, and tells you what age the discount is available for; it provides contact numbers so you can easily get more information; and it reminds you of things you might not have thought about, like ASKING for a discount on golf, volunteering to be a foster grandparent, or going to a summer tap dancing camp (among other choices) for elders.

Good book but a little out-dated

This is an excellent book with some great values in it. Unfortunately, it is 3 years old and needs updating since many of the deals have changed or some have been discontinued. There is a wealth of information and savings that can pay for the price of the book in one hotel stay. REALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE AN UPDATE PUBLISHE
