Synopsis

Our Born to Shop author Suzy Gershman has compiled her favorite stores, brands, and websites from around the world into one handy shopper's guide! As Suzy writes, "This book is the cumulative effort of over twenty years of research. It is a thoroughly fact-checked rendition of my Rolodex, my Filofax, my hard drive, and a million miles of international travel—and possibly a million dollars worth of shopping expeditions."

Where to Buy the Best of Everything: The Outspoken Guide for World Travelers and Online Shoppers is divided by product category, with chapters devoted to Women's Clothing, Women's Shoes & Accessories, Menswear, Kids, Beauty, Homestyle, Food, Lifestyle & Department Stores, and more. You'll find close to 1000 stores and brand listings, each with Suzy's opinionated description, notes on her favorite products, price ranges, and location information. Suzy places a heavy emphasis on online shopping, so you don't need to travel the world to use this book. Websites are listed throughout, and many reviews include tips about online-only products, notes on shipping costs, and website pricing comparisons.

From food to fashion, this guide spans the globe. Let Suzy teach you, as she notes in her introduction, How to Be a Shopping God or Goddess.
