Format:Paperback
This book is perfect if you are going to newyork for a shopping holiday (have it read before you go. It is easy to read, full of useful hints and tips, bargains, advice, reccomendations and maps. There are shops featured to suit every budget even suggestions for Window shopping
The only negatives it may be easier to understand if you have been to NY before and understand the geography. I am visiting for my first time and found the street names and areas a little confusing.

I bought this book before my second trip to New York. I must admit I thought I knew most of the shops in NY before I read it but boy was I wrong! It is an invaluable guide for both first timers and experienced shoppers. The maps in it are among the best I have seen in any NY guidebook let alone one devoted exclusively to shopping! I would recommend that anyone going to NY buys this book, it is well worth it! I have also purchased the most up to date version and it is even better! Althought it was published in 2008 it is still very relevent and very few shops in it have changed addresses. If you want up to date listings I would combine this book with 2011/12 New York City Shopping (Zagat Survey: New York City Shopping) but Born to Shop will always be my first choice of shopping guide for New York.

In my view, this is the original and still the best guide to shopping in NYC. I read one of the previous editions prior to my first trip to NYC in 1998 and found it invaluable. The previous reviewers are right; to get the best out of Suzy's advice, it is preferable to have read the book before you get to New York! This is what I did prior to my first trip and the advice enabled me to cover a lot of shops that I would otherwise have missed simply because I did not recognise the brand names or know what kind of merchandise a particular shop carried. If you are reading this book in preparation for your first trip to NY (lucky you - you will love it!!!), I would recommend either reading it alongside a full map of Manhattan or if that is not possible, take the time to study the maps that are included in the guide so that you have a rough idea of where you will be heading. I have since used this book on a more recent trip to NY and was reminded how superior the advice is compared to similar guides on the subject. The guide covers fashion shopping and is comparable to the Where to Wear series in that regard, but what makes this guide stand out is that so many other areas are covered: menswear, toys, homewares etc. Suzy's enthusiasm for shopping and her obvious delight at the sights and sounds of NY really come through in her writing, which simply makes you even more excited about your impending trip.
