Book Description

October 27, 1998
Shopping Secrets Melbourne is a retail travel guide that features the most interesting and unique shops. The photo heavy format makes it a great souvenir of the retail essence of this subtle but sophisticated city. The information contained within also makes it a highly functional guide for visitors. Style and quality are standard with all these shops no matter how quirky they are. Forget the usual travel books this is the one that gives you the insider's view. From Vespa's to magic spells, crotchless g-strings to fairy wings, handmade shoes to custom designed candy, clothes, cars and food. This book is for shoppers who want to leave Australia with more than just a stuffed Koala.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Sshh! The Secret's out! Everyone knows that Melbourne is a great place to shop, but most shoppers limit themselves to the main department stores and malls. Enter Shopping Secrets - Melbourne, a neat, well-sized, handy reference to some of the most unique and innovative retailers in town. The book is the first in a global series planned by Melbourne author, Michelle Matthews. I would be extremely surprised if even the most well versed and experienced Melbourne shopper didn't find this book extraordinary - whether local or visiting. The release of Shopping Secrets - Melbourne is perfect timing - just before Christmas and at $14.99, I would be tempted to pick up a copy to give me an edge on some quirky and rather unique gifts this year. -- Annie Carson - Attitude Magazine

From the Publisher

This edition is the first in a global series of books. Later this year will see the release of Shopping Secrets Sydney and Shopping Secrets San Francisco. Stay tuned!

More About the Author

I'm more of a publisher (Deck of Secrets guides) than a writer but as a lover of words laid out in creative combination's I like to have a crack at writing now and then. So I've crafted myself the perfect gig; travelling the world and visiting it's finest bars and writing about them. My favourite cocktail is the Aviation.

I live in Melbourne, Australia which explains the English spelling. Yes, the English spell English differently.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Guide for Foreigners, June 5, 2000
By 
This review is from: Shopping Secrets Melbourne (Paperback)
This book breaks Melbourne into shopping districts that can be covered in an afternoon or a day. Brief descriptions are sufficient to get a feel for whether you would be interested in visiting certain stores, or even whole districts, so that you can more efficiently plan your trip. Hours of operation are included. Colorful pictures of the interior of stores and their merchandise are helpful, but a relative indicator of prices (like a 1 to 5 dollar sign system) would be extremely helpful. Also, mileage indicators on the maps would be a big plus.

This review is from: Shopping Secrets Melbourne (Paperback)
Michelle Matthews has unearthed a pot-pourri of alternative venues for the discerning consumer. Street smart and shopping savvy, this book oozes class and cuts a swathe through similar projects aimed at a peculiar niche. Its light, breezy treatment and contemporary pace only hastens the buyer's decision-making process. What a Mecca Melbourne is! Roll on San Francisco, London...Moscow!
