Lots of good information on where to find great clothes for less. I especially liked the listing of designers and discount store second lines, as well as ways to check for quality.

lots of great information and ideas on how to look fabulous without spending too much. Although one flaw is that most of the places she mentions that have great deals are not available in my area. They are only located in areas like NY and LA. Bummed about that!

Nothing new here I didn't already know, but if you are new to the world of comparison online shopping with coupon codes and promotional sales, this is a decent primer. Focuses on clothing and shoes - fashion.

Nothing I didn't know already but I liked this book a lot because it lists sites and comparison brands at a glance and there are some good reminders in here. Plus, it was in the bargain book section :)
