Sales of The Shopaholic' s Guide to Buying Online show there is a real demand for informed, comprehensive, UK-orientated, authoritative and accessible guidance on the best websites to buy from. There is very little competition - that which is available is either old or US-focussed and has very little or no UK sales history on Bookscan. If ever there was a category you need to keep abreast of, this is it! May will be the beginning of the season when people start shopping for their Summer wardrobes. This smaller, spin-off Shopaholic's guide will reflect the same production, design and layout values that make the main book such an easy-to-use, popular format.
