We have a few books on it, although the major publishers haven&#39;t put one out recently. (<strong><a href="http://evans.evpl.org/search~S0?/Ymystery%20shopping&amp;SORT=D/Ymystery%20shopping&amp;SORT=D&amp;SUBKEY=mystery%20shopping/1%2C36%2C36%2CB/frameset&amp;FF=Ymystery%20shopping&amp;SORT=D&amp;2%2C2%2C">Mystery Shopping Made Simple</a></strong> (2004),&nbsp;by Newhouse, is the most recent from&nbsp;a well-regarded publisher.)</p> <p>But the post at <a href="http://www.wisebread.com/">WiseBread</a> does a great job of laying out the facts and pointing the reader to reliable web resources. WiseBread is an excellent site, by the way, for personal finance resources. And don&#39;t miss the &quot;forums&quot; link at upper right, to get a taste of their online community. Online communities, particularly when they&#39;re a part of a well-run, focused website, are excellent resources for getting tips and information.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://evpl.org/community/aggbug.aspx?PostID=815" width="1" height="1">personal financemystery shoppingwisebread
