Ok, so I'm a Wendell Berry fan. So is this guy which I didn't know before I bought the book. It's mostly stories of scoring great deals, a little lean on the how-to but it gets you in the right mindset. I'm into this method of acquiring things I don't need (that's why there's Ebay). It's simply addicting and makes for great storytelling. It's also not too simplistic like other books I've read on the subject.
