I bought this book as a gift and really wasn’t impressed when it arrived. From the paper it is printed on to the tips in the book, it has been a huge disappointment. The best part of this book is the title.

For most things, a fantastic book. But, for flying at noon or on Saturday – don’t even attempt this at a cruise ship port (unless you are a cruise passenger) on a Saturday after 10 a.m. -and Sunday is not excellent either. In fact, noon flying on any day is not as excellent as taking a flight out where the plane has stayed overnight for cleaning and maintenance…. AND that crew is probably staying overnight there and will get to the plane on time to go back home.

I wish that I had never bought this book! There is NO INDEX! You have to browse through the whole CHAPTER for instance to find when to buy jeans or sneakers, etc. This would have been SO much better with an pointer!
But most of all, this is the POOREST constructed book I have ever bought, read, or even felt! It is a paperback, but the take in just feels like regular PAPER it is SO flimsy!! This was not an inexpensive book. It is tiny (maybe 8″ x 8″) and about 170 pages and Amazon fee was $10. That is an average fee to pay for a book. Yet this book is so flimsy that it feels like it cost $5! It is hard to even READ as it is so flimsy!
Harper Collins is the publisher and I am really surprised that they turned out this junk! If I were the leader, I’d be on the phone to both my publisher AND my agent!
SAVE YOUR MONEY AND READ THIS AT THE LIBRARY!! Get there quickly, but, because after 2 or 3 people check this book out, there won’t be much left of it!

Buy Ketchup in May and Glide at Noon is a book that looks and feels cheap – and I mean noticeably cheaper than a basic paperback. The leader and publisher clearly do not view this as a book that will suffer. The paper seems to be newsprint and the card stock for the take in is as thin as possible. Perhaps the plot is to update the information every couple of years, but the lack of regard shown in the shoddy construction caused me to question the quality that went into making the contents. I read the book with skepticism because in my grasp it felt like junk. That said, the book eventually won me over.
It is a quick read and would be perfect for persons times when frequent interruptions are inevitable or distractions are likely. While reading it, at least 50% of the revelations were things I already knew (buy fresh fruit when in season), but the rest were appealing revelations (the best time to find a sympathetic insurance claims adjuster is 4 PM Friday) which when read are filled with common sense.
The leader claims no credit for the information and lists the sources at the back of the book. Many things seemed obvious and right, but some suggestions appeared less than accurate. For example the best month of the year to buy jeans is noted as October, after the back to school sales are finished. Well, anyone who wears a well loved size jean knows that by then, persons sizes are out-of-stock, and with the low inventories most retailers are maintaining, unlikely to be back in stock for months.
The book contains useful information and I felt the time spent reading it wasn’t wasted. Few of us are experts in everything, so the majority of people will find some helpful information within the pages. The book might be best suited as a graduation gift along with a gift card or check. The younger the recipient, the more useful the book will be for the reader.

This was a quick, polished read presenting “behind the scenes” types of information about timing–whether it’s the timing of a job application, or the timing of an insurance adjustment. Seven chapters each carry dozens of tiny, bite-sized tips that tell you the WHEN, but also provide the WHY and the HOW. For example, the best time to shop a garage sale is early in the morning. The WHY is because the treasures are still available, and the HOW is to come before opening! How about the best time to end an Ebay auction? That would be between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. on a Sunday night, as many people are on their computers at that time specifically for leisure purposes. Although I can’t reflect of a single reason to specifically buy this book, I did delight in it, and I did read it all in one quick sitting.
