Terrific

I learned a lot about online shopping that I never knew before. But the best thing about this book is all the online stores, listed by categories. I found some neat stores. Loved the party section.

Before reading this book, I was wary of online shopping

Before picking up this excellent book, I was wary of online shopping -- and I still am, but now I'm intelligently wary. The authors do a marvelous job of helping understand what you can trust and what you can't, how online shopping works in all its various manifestations, and what strategies to use when you do shop online. The book showed me that online shopping is not (as I had thought) just for shopping addicts who need a fix 24 hours a day, but a great space for intelligent and discerning consumers. I'm still not a big spender online (or anywhere), but I've used the book to help me find some things I couldn't find anywhere else and at surprising prices. I think this book is going to go down in the so-far brief history of online commerce as a milestone achievement. It has certainly changed my views about WWW commerce and made me a better consumer. I can't say enough about this expansive, easy-to-use, fun, and informative work. I hope they plan to update this work regularly.

Big help

I was looking for different types of gifts besides the usuall. I found lots of neat stores that don't show up on the searches. I also liked the beginning part with all of the info about shopping online.

much better than using the search engines

I tried the searches and the shopping bots but always come up with the same old stores. This book showed me a whole new bunch of sites I'd never would have found.

Biggest time saver ever!

I've just finished all of my X-Mas shopping in one night and did it all from this book. I herd of stores I didn't know. Thank you from a very busy working mom.
