What a find. I have a whole new appreciation for personal shoppers, knowing how much work goes into selecting an item. I liked how this book talks about corporate personal shopping and opening a personal shopping business. I love to shop. I just needed a good book that showed me the ropes on how to start my own business in it. At less than $5, this is one of the best business books I've found.

A short, concise version of what personal shopping is all about. This is not the textbook version of personal shopping, but the "cliffnotes" version so that is why I'm giving this only 4 stars. If you want to train to become a personal shopper, then you should enroll in a course, if they have one. In most cases, you have to apply and get accepted into a personal shopper program at stores. That can be tough so this book comes in handy if you want to look at alternatives to the store programs.

I'm a senior in high school with my own personal shopping business. I began selling Avon at school, but wanted to branch out. So I started personal shopping at the end of my junior year with the help of my parents who read this book. they're in business, but wanted to know a little more about personal shopping. I read the book, too. quick read. not bad since i'm doing well. I know how to put together outfits and I already know how to sell so this little book is all I need.

This book tells you what you need to do to open up a fashion consulting firm and tells you common-sense stuff like you may need a computer and a phone. It's very cheaply put together, and the content is about as flimsy as the actual book (which happens to be printer paper folded in half and stapled.
