Summary: Great Guides to European Cities
Comment: ...even if shopping is not your primary travel goal.
Suzy is a hoot -- she reminds me of a little less mean Joan Rivers. I love all her Born to Shop books, and must admit that I use them to guide me through any city she's written about, even if I don't plan to do crazy shopping while there. If you're a person who, like me, learns more about culture and civilization in bars and shops all over the world than from great museums, these are for you. I have never had an experience with bad or out-dated information in her books, and her recommendations have guided me to treasured purchases that remind me of my European rambles and bring a smile to my face whenever I wear them. Suzy has a great eye and a lot of inside information and tips that will help you make the most of your mad money, even if all you plan to bring home with you is gifts. I especially appreciate her inclusion of street markets, vintage shopping and flea markets; great for fashionistas who are not glossy fashion magazine zombies, and for those who are looking for passable knock-offs of designer goods. Suzy's books also include wonderful cheap, on-the-go eating ideas for your busy, busy days, and she includes these stops as she tells you how to plan your shopping route to maximize your time.
The Paris, London and Italy books are superb. These, and skinny Eyewitness Top 10 guide books are all I need!

Summary: Very disappointing
Comment: I agree with many of the other comments here. There are glaring errors all throughout this book, as well as the other Born To Shop books. If you have an older edition, there's no need to buy the new one, as there has been almost nothing updated. The Born To Shop books are a fun read, but do your own homework before following any of the suggestions. Sometimes I think Suzy Gershman really needs to get a clue!

Summary: A lot of errors
Comment: This guide gives a lot of information but some glaring errors. The Etro factory is in Milan not in Como, Pavia is a city south of Milan and not in Tuscany etc. I also do not necessarily want to know about the authors hot flashes while trying on cashmere sweaters.
