Not a bad little book, but nothing earth-shattering either. Living for years with the economy we do, these are things most people do anyway. However, there was one tip that I found so obviously hilarious that I have to mention it here: Look for church bazaars and yard sales in really affluent communities and you can get things like Channel suits for $10. I have exactly zero places that I would ever wear a Channel suit, but I thought it was great to imagine the author stalking the churches of the rich and famous.

It was good ... unfortunately there wasn't a whole lot that I didn't already know (Hey, I read a lot. So it's not like it's the author's fault if I've read this information in multiple places since a book came out a few years ago!)
