Summary: You will save the book's cost over and over and over and ...
Comment: Mr. Waldstein is a bargain-hunting angel. This book is well-organized and a fun read, though sometimes directions are sketchy and hours of operation or phone numbers are wrong. It is less like having access to a city's reference librarian than meeting a friendly person who's lived in the city for years and knows all the best places though not always the details.
This was the first book of the Mr. Cheap series and is now in a second edition. Organized into four main sections (shopping, entertainment, restaurants and lodging), reviews are informal and newsy, usually around 100 words. The index is adequate and an appendix lists restaurants (the most comprehensive section of the book) by food type/ethnicity.
Well worth its cost though not the only reference you'll need.

Summary: Crammed with interesting stuff....
Comment: Cheap internet cafes, public library lectures, poetry readings,kayak trips, jazz music...... Retail sections also form a large part of the book: infomation on second hand musical information is available; if you want to bring in your instruments to trade in. Similary, second hand bookstores offer the same service. A wide range of CDs, books and furnishings and electronic equipment for the bargain hunter with also locations of fabric stores for designing clothes as well as dress patterns. Besides listing the locations of more unusual supplies like where to get portfolios, there are address guides of the chains of larger stores. A good supplement to Mr Cheap's Guide is Romantic Days and Nighs in Boston by Patricia Harris & David Lyon. It gives great ideas for strolls in the parks, cycling, afternoon teas,picnics and brunches for two. Mr Cheap's guide does not provide maps or comprehensive transportation information and is ideally used as a supplement to a travel guide with location guides. Instead of a travel guide, a travel map is also ideal: hightlight the spots of the map of interest and then plan where to go and stay. Most of the information should ideally be used as early as possible; for bookings of hotels as well as current information on talks and free concerts. It is recommended that internet research is done with the book at hand: for the university lectures, performances, concerts and symphony sessions, current information is needed so read the book over and highlight places of interest and check up for more information. Some organizations also require that you write to them so do armchair travelling in advance.
