I greatly enjoyed this encyclopedic look into the wonderful world of thrifting. It was written in the 90s, and she talks a lot about how annoying it is that a lot of the "good stuff" gets snagged up by resellers. I am dying to know what she thinks about the present day advent of etsy, which never fails to make me weep for all of the cool stuff that I didn't find first.

Forget about tightwadding! Finally, a book about spending too much money on too cool stuff in thrift stores! This book is about the GLORY OF THRIFTING -- the METHOD, the MADNESS, and the SCORE! Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The author broke down thrifting by room. Gave ideas of things to look out for and how to use them, and even new unconventional ways of using old items.
The author also included fun stories of other Thrifters and the things they do with their collections. My favorite story was about a guy who collects everything 1950s. He photographs himself dressed up as this invented family, The Kimball's, and throws cocktail parties, bbqs, etc using all of his collections. It's quite hilarious.
I really loved this book. I'm going to have to get a copy for myself and start to think about what I want for my own home. I love the idea of thrifting and making someone else's discard a treasure for my own home. This book is the best companion for anyone who is into thrifting.
I gave it a four out of five stars only because I do wish the photographs had been in color. ( )
