Book Review: This book has paid for itself!
Summary: 5 Stars

A note about old information: I do not consider this to be a defect of the book. I have the 1999 edition, which I have been using all week to look for a bedroom set. Many of the companies I called were listed in the book as carrying the Stanley line. Many of the stores I called no longer carry Stanley. After a few of the same responses, I finally asked why many stores no longer carry that line. The answer was simple-- Stanley asked for more room in the showrooms and if the showrooms didn't enlarge the Stanley line within their companies, Stanley pulled the line from that store. Since many companies didn't have the extra room (plus they didn't agree with Stanley's practices) they were no longer able to carry Stanley. How is that a problem with the book? I don't hold the author of the book responsible for the politics that go on within the furniture industry. I do believe that the information was correct at the printing of the book and that if the information has changed, it will be reflected in newer editions.

Since I have to buy furniture for every room in my house, I also have ordered Ms. Causey's other book "The Insider's Guide to Buying Home Furnishings".

I am saving about ...including freight on the queen bed, dresser, mirror and nightstand that I plan to buy. ...x a house full of furniture is a lot of money and I am grateful a book like this exists to help me find the best deals!

My friend and I plan to visit High Point and Hickory next year and we do plan to call companies first to verify they still exist and if they carry a particular line I want. I have heard visits in person to North Carolina save you more money because you can buy from the outlets and the savings on the furniture (including freight) more than pay for the trip to go look. What fun!
