5.0 out of 5 stars Saw it on PBS Special "Social Class In America" - FABULOUS, February 14, 2006

Reggie - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to meet the Rich: For Business, Friendship, or Romance (Paperback)

What I like about this book is that it is not a gold-digger book - and I do not understand why it is sold with gold digger books. Maybe it is being confused with her other book How To Marry The Rich.

THIS BOOK is for the whole person - to improve your business and social life - and yeah, yeah, if you fall in love with someone who is rich, it tells you how to handle yourself to stand a better chance of marrying the person.

But it is NOT a gold-digger book and anyone who buys it for that purpose will feel as if all the valuable information for business people or breaking into society is just stuffing - which it is not if you are an entrepreneur who needs financial backing or just improving your lot in life.

The author's appearance on PBS was just great and showed how helpful her book can be in helping people beat the social class system.

5.0 out of 5 stars Packed with GREAT USEFUL information, June 20, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Meet the Rich (Paperback)

I have many of the "marry rich" books and this is the best one on the market! I also have her "how to marry the rich" which is awesome. This book is thick and has MUCH more info.I have used it and it WORKS. The 14 layers of class are great! The best part is how to get into society (i.e. all those exclusive clubs such as the supporting arts and culture, etc.- I tried this and it worked- I am now in!) I have met many wealthy people this way, following the principles in this book.I get invited to great parties and have great female friends who are invaluable to meeting more wealthy men and women! The clothes ideas are ok, but a bit dated and that is the only thing wrong with this book- (it is the year it was written)As far as clothes - the rules are pretty easy use natural materials and quality items- wear what they wear.It is not that hard to figure out, that class is timeless elegance, i.e. sweater sets, silks in bright colors, etc. But this book is worth the price it will change your life if you put it into practice!!

5.0 out of 5 stars REQUIRED READING IN COLLEGE BUSINESS CLASSES, December 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Meet the Rich (Paperback)

HOW TO MEET THE RICH for Business, Friendship, or Romance is REQUIRED READING by professors in some University and College business courses.

No wonder! This valuable book teaches you how to identify the 6 different types of wealthy people and what motivates each type to buy your product or service - no other book I have read has that type of specific, useful information - but then again, Ginie Sayles was a stockbroker and a business woman in her own right.

Some of the people who have rated this book, obviously have not even read it - they just guessed at the contents by the title. It is truly a great, great, great book!!!
