Mr Howard also lists Web sites and phone numbers for gathering information on services and products. Knowledge is power. This practical guidebook shows you how to protect yourself-step by step.

  • Rating I wish I had read this book when I was 22  Jul 30, 2001 (8 of 8 found this helpful)

    ... I could have saved myself a lot of money in the past 10 years. I highly recommend this book as a gift to those young men and women in your life who are just starting out, newlyweds, new parents--anyone who could use a quick course in savvy consumer education. I enjoy Clark's radio show, and his easy, friendly style translates very well into print. Clark, this was worth every penny!

  • Rating The ultimate graduation present  Oct 3, 2001 (5 of 5 found this helpful)

    Without a doubt this is the best consumer information book on the bookshelf today. Clark Howard presents a no nonsense, straight to the point look at what everybody should already know before you go out into the marketplace. I sincerely wish that I had this book before I left my parents house to start out on my own. If universities were really interested in informing the average student, this book would be a required class at schools across America. PLEASE GIVE THIS BOOK TO ANY RELATIVE WHO IS GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL. IT WOULD BE THE BEST PRESENT THEY COULD GET

  • Rating A must have for people who have no financial sense, like me  Oct 3, 2001 (5 of 5 found this helpful)

    I've been listening to this guy for a couple weeks on his talk radio show. I have to say that the common principles of personal finance and consumer rights presented in this book are invaluable lessons that we were never taught in high school or college (at least I wasn't). So, if you 're interested at all, check it out--you won't be dissapointed.

  • Rating It Will Pay For Itself  Feb 25, 2001 (5 of 5 found this helpful)

    Get Clark Smart is a great consumer reference book that will pay for itself in a short time by helping you make wise purchase decisions. Before signing any contracts or buying any major items you should check with Clark Howard, and his book makes that easy to do. This book would also make a great gift for newlyweds, children, or practically anyone.
