Covering every state, metropolitan area, and even some out-of-the-way places, it offers easy-to-navigate maps for finding the stores that are usually only known by word of mouth. Complete with addresses, contact information, and price and quality ratings, this guide is an indispensable tool for the vintage fashion aficionado.

This review is from: The Vintage Fashion Directory: The National Sourcebook of Vintage Fashion Retailers (Paperback)
I love this book!!! I travel a lot on business and love finding new and hidden vintage clothing shops. I also like that it lists what each store specializes in and what their prices are like - so I know where to go for specific items. A GREAT RESOURCE!!

This review is from: The Vintage Fashion Directory: The National Sourcebook of Vintage Fashion Retailers (Paperback)
Overall, I am highly impressed by this book: it is easy to navigate, includes helpful information about cities and certain stores' inventory, and--best of all--includes listings that one would NOT find in the phone book or on the net.
This book goes with me on every trip out of state because I know it will lead me away from the beaten path; if, however, a very well-known boutique is on the agenda, I am sure to find it listed in the Guide, as it is quite comprehensive despite its small size. My only complaint is that the Directory is now three years old and some of the information is outdated. Most, however, is still highly relevant, and the book remains an excellent purchase. We just need a 2005 edition, or better yet, keep 'em coming yearly like the phone book.
