Tuesday, December 02, 2008 I saved $1000 by page 10 by Glenn Wilson from Yorkshire, UK  Pros: Practical Advice, Flight Bag Sized Cons: Wish it were double the size Review: This book saved me $1000 by page 10. This book was easy to read, in fact I couldn't put it down and read it straight through. It was full of wisdom that I've found myself going back to from time to time. It doesn't waste your time -- gets right to the point.
