The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

Just how much would you pay for those 10 free minutes of long distance? Will slimming insoles do more than cushion your tired feet? Are you really the guaranteed winner of a $10 million sweepstakes? For more than twenty years, the Selling It column of Consumer Reports has been keeping tabs on come-ons like these, poking fun at and, more important, bringing them to the attention of millions of consumers. Collected here are the best that is, the worst from the past decade. Whether showing what's inside official government envelopes, illustrating the lunacies of labeling, debunking mysterious medical potions, or looking at the ever-more-clever ways in which packaging is designed to deceive, Leslie Ware and her fellow editors expose and inform in equal parts. With historical context and tips for consumers, Selling It offers entertaining reading and constructive solutions, and proves again that in today's marketplace, vigilance is all.
