Two fascinating reads: In Poorly Made in China Paul Midler tells true stories of working with Chinese manufacturers in his role as consultant to American companies who are searching for cheaper production. It is actually really funny as well as depressing (when you are in the shirtdress business...). Quite a bit of the book focuses on manufacturers of shampoo, and now I can't wash my hair without wondering whether my shampoo has been tampered with.

Dana Thomas' Deluxe, How Luxury Lost Its Lustre, reveals the history of some of the world's most well known and exclusive fashion companies, among others Louis Vuitton and Hermes.  It then goes on to expose where most "luxury" products are made nowadays - you guessed it, we are back in China. She also describes the fake bag industry in great detail - scary stuff but very much worth knowing.
