Rufus and Lawson take a pretty wide view of scavenging and include everything from coupon clipping and bargain hunting to more traditional scavenger activities such as dumpster diving and searching out curbside finds. The book is part how-to with useful tips for scavengers or anyone looking to save a buck or two and part philsophy.
With a history of scavenging, many arguments made for why scavenging is good for the world at large and philosophical musings on scavenging/being cheap, readers will encouragement and support from Rufus and Lawson. The message of this book: It's OK to be a cheapskate; you are not alone!
At a time when everyone is cutting back, the authors find that their sort of lifestyle is suddenly in vogue. Well, sort of. Maybe not everyone is ready to go to the extremes to which they go, but it is encouraging to see that there are more ways out there to save money that most would have realized.
The Scavengers' Manifesto is an amazingly readable book. Part how-to book, part memoir, this light-hearted book is able to put something of a positive spin on these bleak economic times.
