This is a fun, quirky book about thrift store shopping. She covers all the good reasons to thrift shop from saving money and more style accessiblity to recycling/being green. She goes from zero to sixty in under 300 pages.
There are chapters that cover trends in fashion, household items and decor. How collectibles are born. A brief history of thrift stores. Most fun are her "spot profiles" she does on specific people. Two examples are the artist that sneaks his art into the Salvation Army and a gentleman that buys for a restaurant chain!
A yardsale veteran myself, I learned a lot. It's the perfect read during the "off season"!
