The Black Book was revolutionary, but so was the iPhone and that doesn’t stop Apple from upgrading it continuously. So we decided to work some new bells and whistles into Black Book v.2. For starters, there are a slew of new places for you to shop, but that’s not all. We went through the list of all our favorite shops and rated them based on a sliding five-star scale of excellence. All the entries are also now sortable by name, rating and price. New features, a small face lift and – most importantly – new sponsors. Because without the support of our awesome sponsors, none of this would be possible. A big thank you to the following:
