This review is from: Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide (Paperback)
I was mainly interested in reading this book to to help me buy a diamond ring for my girlfriend. However once I started reading I realized that the book contained a wealth of information that was relavent to my day to day purchases. Also, there are many interesting and amusing scam stories. The only negative part of the book is that Janice Lieberman's picture is too small.
