2005 Online Shopping Directory for Dummies?

How the Book is Organized
The sites in the 2005 Online Shopping Directory for Dummies  are grouped by logical chapters such as Food, Babies and Children, Travel, Apparel and so on. Within each chapter, the sites are identified by keywords.

Each site includes a brief description of the merchandise for sale. The site name and URL are clearly displayed. You'll also find a telephone number if the site has a contact phone number.

The descriptions are informative, lighthearted, and fun. You might laugh out loud or find yourself saying, "I didn't know I could buy THAT online!" as you read through the chapters.

Best of all, I've rated each site for Price, Selection, Convenience and Security. I've done all your advance work for you!
