How to Avoid Getting Ripped Off: Essential, but Hard-To-Find Consumer Facts for Women

This book is an absolute gold mine of information for the consumer, female or otherwise, and it is especially useful for women who may not have experience dealing with the ins and outs of the marketplace. Each topic is clearly described with terms defined, common pitfalls laid out and lots of reliable resources listed for supporting organizations and agencies. (Too bad a more recent edition doesn't exist.) Still, with an abundance of good, solid information on so many different topics-car repairs, barter networks, mail order, travel, insurance, home buying and repairs, credit and contracts- it's one of the most thorough and easy to digest consumer guides of any I've seen. -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by Ilene Rosoff
