If Americans buy it, you can probably find out how much they’re spending on it in the all-new 15th edition of Household Spending: Who Spends How Much on What.
Widely praised when the first edition appeared in 1991, this unique resource gives you the latest dollar-for-dollar answers to the questions Who buys? What do they buy? How much do they spend? It also gives you market shares and spending indexes, valuable additions that add depth to your research.
