Summary

Suzy shops the world -- with dachshund Toffee in tow -- to find the world's best shopping buys, and passes her discoveries along to you! This is the 24th year of this series, and with a new cover and interior design -- including Shop Talk industry gossip, Best Bets picks, Shopping Adventure travel tips, and more -- it has never looked better. Suzy even personalizes her maps with "hand-written" notes, as if she were writing tips on a napkin for you. "Shop & Save" has been Suzy's mantra lately: Suzy likes luxe but she likes bargains, too. She's packed this new edition with sales, outlets, best buys, and the best gifts for less than $10. This guide covers the region: You'll find everything from the best tailors in Hong Kong to designer eyewear deals at the Eye Mart in Beijing to the Nanjin Road in Shanghai to flea markets in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City -- plus the best of the Pearl River Delta -- all with Suzy's trademark wit and wisdom, plus hotel and dining recommendations.
