And it contains an A-Z of the best sites for consumers on the Web: established retailers of anything from gardening tools to books, from holidays to fancy dress. Plus guidance on how to join the many auction sites, which are often less tightly regulated but which can offer you bargains galore and introduce you into the thrift-store dimension of shopping on the Web -- from the purchase of a GBP3.00 pop poster to a rare artefact.
