"If you're shopping for a manufactured home, The Manufactured Home Buyer's Handbook is absolutely the best book investment you'll ever make in your life. Don't set foot on a dealer's lot without it! It will walk you through the entire process, and tells the real story behind the manufactured housing industry and HUD. It also goes on in detail about how financing and insurance differs from that offered by traditional housing. What you don't know really CAN hurt you! Without this thorough and well written guide, my wife and I would have probably made the biggest financial mistake of our lives. With it, we got a really great deal on a good home. We estimate we saved over $15,000 on the price of our double-wide, and by the time financing is considered (not only are we saving the interest we would have had to pay on that $15,000, but because of the book we also found a lower rate) we easily saved over $50,000 altogether. I can't recommend The Manufactured Home Buyer's Handbook highly enough!" Amazon Reviewer . . . Consumer advocacy groups and Amazon readers all give The Manufactured Home Buyer's Handbook 5 Stars as it shoots to #17,767 on Amazon sales charts (Jan. 2nd, 2006), making it the best-selling book on the subject! . . .

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The President of the Wisconsin Manufactured Home Owners Association Discusses The Manufactured Home Buyer's Handbook

Consumer Advocate Kristen Zehner Endorses New Book

February 1st, 2005 --

Q. What do you feel like this book offers to the potential manufactured home customer? Would you recommend it to consumers?

A. "I’m not aware of any other manufactured housing book on the market that realistically addresses the actual benefits vs. detractions that the purchase of a manufactured home entails for the average consumer. Wes Johnson writes with truthfulness and humor from genuine personal experience. His book possesses tremendous authenticity, versus dry industry and government versions that fail to provide real advice or real solutions to the quagmire that is manufactured housing."

Q. What do you feel is the book’s primary strength?

A. "This book is highly comprehensive at the same time that it’s conversational. It’s an easy read even for the non-bookish person, simultaneously offering a gripping, personal story of an manufactured housing Odyssey."

Q. Is the book practical? Will consumers find its suggestions easy to employ?

A. "Without a doubt, this book is not only informative and educational but has sensible suggestions for solving sticky problems--from a public relations standpoint with manufactured housing personnel all the way to construction, piers, bugs, locks, and light bulbs!"

Q. Are the illustrations and charts helpful?

A. "All manner of assistance can be found in detailed charts and illustrations, down to negotiating the treacherous waters of financing and mortgages."

Q. Do you feel this book will help the average manufactured home buyer who reads it save money?

A. "If average purchasers do their homework by reading and following the advice in Wes Johnson’s book, they will not only save money but wear and tear on mental and emotional processes, as well as consumer credit ratings and some marriages!"

Q. Did you find the book’s energy efficiency tips to be useful?

A. "Tips in this book can be found in nearly every chapter, not just on energy efficiency, but on the entire minefield that is manufactured housing."

Q. Was there any information that surprised you regarding the manufactured home industry? If so, what?

A. "I was surprised to find myself amused and entertained throughout most of Wes Johnson’s book, especially the text covering impulse buying, financing, and manufactured housing salespeople’s behaviors!"

Q. Was the book well written and the author knowledgeable regarding the subject?

A. "There can be no doubt that the author knows his subject; his candor is appreciated for its validity as well as irony and humor!"

General Comments:

"Utterly the most remarkable, intelligent, informed, and honest accounting I've read anywhere--there is no room for doubt about the authenticity of [the author’s] experiences. Well worth the $35 price for the consumer with the inherent patience and aptitude who contemplates purchase of one of these houses."

Kristen Zehner, State President, WI Manufactured Home Owners Assn. Inc.
