5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous!, October 2, 2003

By	Sarah G Femiano (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

From the moment I had the book handed to me by the author himself I could not put it down. Whether this book describes you to a T (like myself) or you care for someone who would put their life on the line for a great pair of shoes, it makes the perfect gift or addition to any woman's purse. I am a college student who attempts to fit 200 pairs of shoes into a dorm room with almost 200 still at home. So not only is this book amusing, but it is comforting for those like me to know that we are not alone. My highest recommendations!

5.0 out of 5 stars Girls Just Want To Have Shoes, October 17, 2003

By	Evelyn Siporin (Franklin, Michigan) - See all my reviews

Great stocking stuffer. Fun, fun, fun read. Fabulous graphics and use of color. Clever writing. Terrific concept. We all know bootists and this little book gives them/us a voice. Now I don't have to be embarrassed that I own so many shoes and that the majority are black. It's good to know I'm not alone and I'm like the other girls.
