highly recommended

If, however, you are looking for an excellent reference to quality clothing construction in an entertaining format? This book is perfect. The key to finding great secondhand clothing finds is not in label-searching. The real secret is learning the hallmarks of high-quality clothing construction. This book helps any shopper find the gems in the rough, and throws in additional chapters on fit, style, fabrics, and flair. These shopping tips are invaluable to those of us who want superior clothing but wish to pay secondhand prices. Great fun and information packed!

Awesome!

This book is just amazing-- I can't believe how much I learned about not just secondhand shopping but all shopping in general. I will NEVER AGAIN buy something just because the label says it's by so-and-so, who's supposed to make quality clothes. From now on, I will be the one to determine what a piece of clothing is worth because I now know exactly what to look for when evaluating clothes. Hats off to the author and a genuine "thank you" for saving me time and face! P.S. Though it's not as thorough as the book, there are some free courses with some of Secondhand Chic's information at dreamlife.com in the creativity and fun section. i'd definitely reccomend the book but those classes are good too.

better for fashionistas....

A practical guide to choosing and caring for clothing, the secondhand way. However, it is geared more towards those seeking designer labels than those in search of vintage togs. Don't pass it up though, it teaches alot about quality and care.
