5.0 out of 5 stars SO MANY BARGAINS - SO LITTLE TIME, January 29, 2000

By 

Phyllis Goodwin - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Ultimate Consignment & Thrift Store Guide (Mass Market Paperback)

The reason this book is getting "FIVE STARS" from everyone is because it takes a DIFFERENT approach. It is specific. She names national thrift store "chains," ie the Discover Shops, Goodwill etc. and lists other outlets all over the U.S. and in other countries. Covering this much geography, is a FIRST that I have ever found. For those of us that travel, this is a Godsend. She even has a section on "Bargains on the Internet." There is a section on "resources" (other books, and addresses to write for info.etc.)Then, there's a section for the "trade" with bargains on display pieces etc. For those of us that have collections, these display pieces are a "must" and they're expensive. This is the first resource I've seen to get these at bargain prices.This book is a GREAT source of information for the bargain shopper.

I came across this book while I was recently browsing in a book store and then looked in the computer. This book provides wonderful information for smart shoppers worldwide. I cannot begin to express my joy in finding such a great book. I have visited a number of the stores in different places. Not only did I find many great "buys" but each store was so interesting. I would like to thank the author for the time and effort put forth in this book. Great idea!
