BuyingGuideType
Information that identifies a buying guide. A buying guide provides content about particular product areas, categories, or subjects to help buyers decide which type of item to purchase based on their particular interests. Buying guides are useful to buyers who do not have a specific product in mind. For example, a digital camera buying guide could help a buyer determine what kind of digital camera is right for them.
