eBook: Thrift and the City by Monroe Steele

So I've always wanted to write a book.
Specifically a book about where I thrift shop in New York City and a few tips and tricks I've learned along the way. After months of procrastinating I've finally finished it!
It's a quick and easy 13 page guide on thrift and vintage shopping. As well as chalk full of destinations in Manhattan and Brooklyn that are a MUST when thrifting.
I also include addresses, telephone numbers and websites to some of my most beloved thrift and vintage stores in and around New York City.
