I am not a garage shopper myself, but after reading this, I might just start.Some fabulous tips in this book, that any garage shopper would be wise to note. And lots of money saving ideas.I particularly liked the chapter on Big Ideas. Some tremendous recommendations. I like the idea of finding out what needs there are in your community and seeking those out at a garage sale. Its not all about ourselves and the idea of community comes through in many of the tips given.I also enjoyed reading the anecdotes. Some interesting stories there. I loved the story about the ash trays from New Orleans.I am giving this book five stars, because the text is well presented, thorough, and even though I read the whole book, the chapter headings, chapter summaries and sub titles make it an easy text to scan to find the information you need quickly.The only addition to make this an even better guide would be the inclusion of pictures. I would love to have seen photos of the man cave and college room after it had been remodelled using the furniture from the garage sales. Or to see pictures of some of the great finds like the Jackie O replica flag pin.Overall if you are looking for advice on being a garage sale shopper, I don't think you could get a better guide than this one. A must for the back pocket or glove box as you travel around from sale to sale. Oh, and don't forget your buddy!!!CJ Kindle Book Review
