Good little guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I love this book. It does NOT fit in the palm of your hand. The book is 4 inches by 4 inches and 1 inch thick with 336 pages plus blank pages for notes. It is NOT a tourist's guide book. The title says it all, curious shopper. The author lists places for different fabrics, kitchenware, millinery, art supplies, anitques, collectibles and more, within the same area. Many things are discounted from the high-end prices. Also she lists places to eat nearby. If you're not going to NYC to sight-see but to find different things, I would highly recommend this book. I will be taking it with me on my next visit.
Unusual, but interesting

In case you didn't notice the dimensions listed, be warned - this book is tiny! The size of your palm. At first I was disappointed, as it is fairly odd in size and content. But when I started looking through it I found it very interesting, even if I won't visit most of the places. It is a kind of local's view into some of the really old "districts", like undergarments, millinery, and diamonds. I don't think I will be shopping for any of those things on my trip to NYC, but it was a very nice glimpse into local color!
