5.0 out of 5 stars
Never dull and always captivating,
By Joshua Gronsbell (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Fearless Shopper: How to Get the Best Deals on the Planet (Travelers' Tales) (Paperback)
Books on travel and shopping are typically tomes containing many boring and only somewhat useful facts. "The Fearless Shopper" is not your typical travel guide. The book is filled with engaging stories and important information. Moreover, Borrus' prose is gripping and exciting. Ultimately, "The Fearless Shopper" is never dull and always captivating.

The Fearless Shopper : How to Get the Best Deals on the Plan,
By Anonymous (Arlington, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Fearless Shopper: How to Get the Best Deals on the Planet (Travelers' Tales) (Paperback)
This book is terrific! It provides practical and helpful information based on the author's personal experience as well as tales and hints she has collected from numerous other travelers. It's well written, entertaining and a must read for unsophisticated shoppers like me who may be planning a trip and wanting to bring something back without being taken to the cleaners. Ms. Borrus tells you what to buy and where as well as how to get the best price. I already devoured my copy of her book and I was just logging on to order more copies to give to family and friends as going away presents.
