Enjoyable December 29, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I enjoyed this book. I no longer have it though. A guest at my home started reading it and didn't want to put it down when it was time for her to leave, so I told her to take it! Looks like I'll have to get another one for myself!
My only negative is that a lot of the references were British and I would have enjoyed the book more if it would have been more focused on the U.S.
First Thing to Buy Before I Die May 29, 2008 10 out of 12 found this review helpful
I don't really have the kinds of friends that know a lot about what's out there. If I tell one of them that I think I want to by a new fridge or sofa, or that I wish I could find a good pair of jeans, they tend to stare back blankly. They certainly don't have any good advice or suggestions. So I use this book like a directory of quality. I don't have a lot of money to waste on things trying to find what I want. I only want to buy something once and be happy with the result. That's why this book is perfect for me. It has suggestions on just about everything as well as what to look for and where to get it. I've used the book to buy about a dozen things and all of them have been exactly what I was looking for.
Who knew? Coffee at $175 a pound. June 1, 2007 7 out of 9 found this review helpful
And a lot more interesting tidbits that make this book not only fun to read but also a learning experience. After reading about it, makes perfect sense why civet coffee should cost so much. And the colorful pictures are a great complement to the descriptions. Okay, so no-one absolutely needs the best expresso maker before they go to the great Starbucks in the sky, but a pair of comfy cashmere socks would be nice or the same after shave lotion that Prince Charles favors. A great gift either for that significant shopper in your life or yourself.
A Gift Idea book for Men, a Wish List for Women December 9, 2006 6 out of 11 found this review helpful
Ok Guys, just look at the front cover: a purse, a lipstick, high heeled shoe, diamond encrusted wrist watch and a big multi colored fabric thing.
Absolutely nothing there that you'd possibly want.
So what are you going to get her for Christmas, birthday, anniversary?
Here's a bunch of things that I guarantee you would never have thought of yourself. Well, there's the Aston Martin on page 156 - there are some Aston Martins listed on E-Bay for less than $100,000. And the Vespa motor scooter doesn't seem like such a bad idea at all in these days of $3 a gallon gasoline.
One problem is that this book is written in England. The authors are a couple of stylish British ladies. But that's OK. The high end products like these are pretty well distributed anywhere in the world. And for most of us, just knowing the brand names on things like cosmetics makes shopping a lot easier. And anyway, this is (for men) just an idea book, you can probably find something similar locally -- maybe even at Target or WalMart.
