When I first read this book I wasn't sure it would really work the way it says it will. But I have been able to save hundreds of dollars already and am planning a three-day trip down to North Carolina because I already know I can save much much more. The author is to be commended for her time and research on this subject. She has enabled many other like myself to furnish and decorate our homes in an affordable way, and still have the high quality we want. I heartily recomment this book to anyone shopping for furniture!!!

This book is a must-read for anyone planning a major furniture purchase. It proved invaluable to me as I prepared to visit the furniture stores of North Carolina - I saved over $1,200.

This book WAS great, but I guess the economy forced a large percentage of the stores listed in the book to close. This is sad because when I built a new home in 2000 we saved thousands on furniture we bought from stores listed in the book. Today I called about 12 of the larger stores and only three were still open. One of the stores had been in bs since the 40's and had over 50 sales people and now they are gone. I was hoping to find she had written an update on this one, but perhaps not enough stores are left to make it worth her while.
