## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun easy read!
*by H***Y on February 17, 2025*

I read this book about 12 years ago and loved it! Made me long for the days before the internet. Jaunts through Europe visiting exclusive Birkin shops, my kind of tale. I have bought more than one of these books for our customers that have Birkins. Highly recommended! You’ll be whisked away to a different time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Picking up unusual job skills in the name of entrepreneurial spirit
*by D***K on July 19, 2015*

Loved this book from beginning to end!First of, you do not have to be a slave to fashion to enjoy this book. The bottom line is Michael Tonello needed to find employment in a pinch and found a very fortuitous gold mine on ebay slagging designer items. By sheer luck by selling one Hermes scarf he uncovered an entire community of Hermes collectors that would do ANYTHING to get their hands on all things Hermes. Of course the scarves and knick-knacks were just the tip of the iceberg. Michael is literally forced into becoming an unwitting authority on all things Hermes and eventually learns "the Formula" for becoming the reigning king of Birkin buying while scads of others languish unnecessarily on a waiting list for 2-3 years for what is arguably a very nice hand bag, but not a particularly exciting bag as it is very conservative in its design.Michael Tonello's writing is hilarious! While reading his adventures and his conniving and extraordinarily good luck in sating the crazed desires of Hermes collectors all in the name of making a paycheck I really felt like I was sitting right there with him having a drink and laughing at some of the best travel/retail stories. Seriously, I think Michael picked up some moves that were previously only taught to potential CIA, MI5, KGB or Mossad agents. I enjoyed this so much I'm forcing my mother and my friends to read it. And Michael, whatever your next entrepreneurial adventure is, I hope its as funny as this one and you can kick out another book on it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely book
*by E***S on January 15, 2025*

I loved the lavish lifestyles, the build up to the apex of the story, and the fact that it was real life.
