    I went to amazon and found one of the books (don't use the Complete, it has to be a numbered one). It will give you excerpts from the book you can look at.

    I actually heard so much about these books that I ordered them all. I didn't know that the complete one was all three books together so I bought them all. I will keep the complete one and sell #1, #2 &#3 shortly on ebay. Do you think I should post them as a group or seperate items???

    I love these books they are a must have!!!

    TWG can be bought at most book stores as well as at Amazon. Half-Priced Books has them here. Bought the 3 in 1 for SIL last Christmas

    This was the first money saving book I had read. I love love love it. I have all 3, and refer to them monthly. They are so worn and highlighted. Amy gives you the motivation to get started at a frugal lifestyle. You don't have to like all of her ideas, but she gives you a great starting place.

    \I would recommend these books to ANYONE. She funny, she interesting, and she's nobodys fool. Think about it - frugality has made her life very comfortable now. We could all take lessons !!!!
