 A Shoppers delight! January 10, 2005
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
If you love shopping, this book is a dream. India Knight is funny and has included some great little stories about growing up. There are great tips, great websites and ideas. Sad to say, but a bible for professional shoppers alike! Shallow us? PAH!
My best random purchase of the year so far... September 14, 2004

I bought this book on a whim, (I am exactly that kind of shopper), and wouldn't hesitate to advise everyone else to snap it up, especially now that it's available in paperback. The best thing about it is that there really is something in it for everyone - I'm positive you don't have to even ENJOY shopping to appreciate India Knight's sense of humour and confessional yet practical style. It's handily indexed, so you don't have to read it cover-to-cover - although trust me, you'll want to. Based on my family's interactions with it, women of all ages can expect to become intrigued, or perhaps, like me, swiftly addicted. Men, (be they husbands, boyfriends, sons, brothers or friends) looking for a treat for themselves or a well-chosen bargain/indulgence for the women in their lives may well find this an indispensible volume. Similarly, I prize it for having sorted out my Dad-present problems for life!!

Oh wow, this is one of the best books ever - it's not just a pleasure to read but also a sheer joy to own. Every page is packed with useful information, not just in terms of the shops listed but also within India Knight's fabulous narrative which runs throughout - narrative which is not just informative but at times both deeply touching and incredibly funny. She deserves every accolade for this work of art.I recommend the hardcover version as it looks and feels as yummy as all the gorgeous products recommended within. As this book is perfect for 'dipping into' it will take pride of place next to my loo so all visitors can share its excellent secrets and I hope buy it too!

One of the best books I have read in a long time. India Knights' meandering style of prose is addictive. I am half way though and am already starting to feel disappointed that I will finsih it soon. Another instalment is surely on its way. Perfect to buy for your selves or as the author says anyone who needs to shop.
This book is my bible! January 16, 2004

I got this book for Christmas (after some pretty hefty hinting!) and I could scarcely put it down long enough to eat my turkey. It's so well written... like chatting with a best friend who knows all the best places to go for... well, everything! Please, please, please write a sequel!
