A doozy of a book - funny, thrilling, a natural raconteur

I've just re-read the book and now this is my review.The cover and title would give one the impression that this book is about...

how did he get this published?

A rather trite, not so interesting personal story about the shallow fashion marketing industry. Why should we care? I can't imagine what the publishers were thinking.

Story of a true Ebay powerseller

Sad but true fact - I will probably never own a Birkin. But reading this book was a fun read about those who covet and can actually afford to own such a bag. The adventures of the author as he procures these bags for the wealthy is impressive and I admired his devotion to the task of tracking...

If you Love Handbags, You'll Love this Book!

As an avid lover and collector of designer handbags, I had to read this book. I found it thoroughly enjoyable and actually learned a few "secrets" to buying "luxurious" goods! What the author tells you about how he "scored" his first Birkin bag, can actually be applied to almost anything you...

Hilarious!

I love this book. Very funny. I find his writing very witty and entertaining. It's such a good look at fashion industry where, yes, every cent and it bags count. :)If you like a little bit of adventure, seeing "the real" people, and don't really believe any hype about "It Bag", then this is the...

Hard to evaluate for all concerned......

This book was hard for me to evaluate because the evaluation depends on who will be buying this book & for what purpose.For example, if you are buying this book to learn a bit about the HERMES Birkin handbags, then you will get something out of this book, since the author (through his travels)...

Great read by the end I still wanted....

to know more about him.I bought this book because I have been reading up on the Luxury industry. I thought it would be a fun read...and it was. I gained an insight into how Hermes has this whole marketing machine to keep the bag hard to get. It works...just look at the amount of fakes sold on...

WITTY AND WINNING

Many of us probably have an idea of what a dream job would be. How about one that takes you to some of the most beautiful cities in the world where you stay in the finest hotels and dine only at 5-star restaurants? Plus, when you're not in Paris or on Capri you don't even have to go to the...

Can't remember when I enjoyed a book more!

From the clever perfection of the title, BRINGING HOME THE BIRKIN, through the last heartfelt pages, I cannot remember enjoying a book more than this memoir by Michael Tonello.BRINGING HOME THE BIRKIN is fairly short, yet it's packed with every sort of adventure a reader could hope to see....
