2.0 out of 5 stars just spend the money on stamps, April 20, 2007

By	M. Womack (Colorado) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

First of all I think the first person to comment must be the author because this book is so not worth it. I only purchased this book for knowledge, I work for the post office. This book was written yrs ago and the things that apply to it don't really work so well today. The whole book could have been summed up with "just reuse a stamp if you can" sure you can get away with it here and there. In one instance the author tells you to place tape over stamp to hold in place. Well I've been working for the post office for 12yrs and have never seen a stamp with tape over it make it through. Nor have I ever seen half a stamp get through the system. There are loopholes but this author obviously is oblivious to them. If you want to save money don't buy this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Relief from the oppressive hell of periodic 3-cent rate hikes, July 3, 2005

By	Keith D (Madison, WI) - See all my reviews

Too cheap to pay 37 cents to mail a letter? You're not the only one, brother. Mr. Unzip (get it? Because he's *screwing* the post office, which uses *ZIP* codes?) will tell you how to spend more than 37 cents worth of your time to save 37 cents. A fun and informative read.
