5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightened by Thepurplebook!, April 18, 2007

By	M. Ronstadt (Phoenix, Arizona) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Thepurplebook was extremely helpful to me! It's so difficult and time consuming to navigate through the internet for good sites and the purple book is a wonderful guide. It's made it much easier for me to find what I'm looking for. I wish I would've known sooner that this book existed!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Read!!, July 10, 2007

By	Marilyn Burke "reading rat" (linden, michigan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I picked this book up at my library,started looking through it,bookmarked so many pages that it was getting ridicules, plus in between looking up and bookmarking these sites on my computer. So I am now giving up and am about to order the 2007 edition for my very own! This book is just crammed with cool sites,and some you just dont care about,but hey, the research has been done for you,so have fun with it, I did!

4.0 out of 5 stars Handy, but limited, May 22, 2008

This is a great book for finding new places to shop. Unfortunately, a lot of the links are dead - the unfortunate side effect of publishing Internet information in print form.
