Summary: Don't bother if you've already bought a Fodor's NYC guide
Review: I purchased this book at the same time with Fodor's 2002 Guide to NYC. Fodor's had most, if not all, the stores listed with accompanying maps plus Fodor's did a better job with identifying the out-of-the-way bargain shops. Save your money and just buy one or the other.

Summary: Great guidebook!
Review: I wish I would of had this book the first time I went to New York City! Not only will this book save you a lot of time from walking, but it also can help you plan where you need to spend your time. The stores are grouped by area, and this book will also tell you what else is nerby. I definitely would recommend this book to anyone visiting the city!

Summary: A great little guide, but this edition needs an update
Review: I've had this guide for four or five years now, and still faithfully drag it on every trip to New York City, just in case I find myself in a strange neighborhood and want to check out some new shops. It's best for helping you scope out a few shopping gems in unfamilar neighborhoods of Manhattan (if you know the neighborhood well, you'll probably already be aware of the stores profiled in each section). This second edition is, however, starting to show its age. Some of the shops profiled have moved or closed. Perhaps more importantly, lots of new interesting places to shop aren't profiled. Hopefully, they will update this soon, but there are quite a few good NYC shopping guides out now, and I would start there.

Summary: Absolutely Fabulous
Review: This book saves a ton of time and footache by narrowing down the shops to visit. I personally love all of City & Company's New York Guide books. Each personalized little volume contains more useful information for savvy travellers than Frommer's or Fodor's. They tell you only the best places to see and the best things to do, without wading through all the general tourist nonsense. The thing I loved most about this book is that it grouped shops by area and gave useful information such as what else is nearby. The store descriptions were very informative. I highly recommend this book, along with FYI Fashion Source, for anyone interested in shopping NYC to its fullest!
