Summary: A little disappointed
Review: I must be spoiled with Teresa Layman's books, because I was disappointed by this one. The houses in this book are all quite easy to make, and I guess anyone who made a gingerbread house before could come up with simple patterns like this. The pictures that are interesting (the writer collected pictures of projects all over the US) unfortunately do not include patterns. What I did like about this book is the enormous amount of hints, tips and tricks that are offered. The writer is obviously an experienced 'gingerbreader' and the love for this craft shows through every story she shares. The sections with info on hosting a gingerbread party and participating in contests was also very valuable. I would recommend this book to anyone who is just starting out on making gingerbread houses, or who is looking for something to do together with children. If you're looking for challenging patterns, realistic details and something beyond basic houses, you're better off buying Teresa Layman's books.

Summary: Inspiring!
Review: No matter how pressed for time you are, this book will make you determined to build a gingerbread house. Cargas is a wonderfully generous author, providing directions for a variety of delightful gingerbread houses, loads of practical tips and decorating ideas, and even ways to share gingerbread houses with others (e.g., through parties and classes). Great photos, too. Fun, fun!

Summary: "Tis the Season
Review: Special baking is high on my list at this time of year as it is for many others. Just discovered a wonderful find in Cargas' "Gingerbread Houses"book. May others be so fortunate to obtain or be given this delightful, easy-to-follow, friendly "how to bake and build memories" as the sub-title so warmly suggests.

Summary: Lovely!
Review: This Gingerbread book is the best I've seen. If you are a beginner you will have no problems succeeding with your first gingerbread houses. If you are a master, you will find that the detail and suggestions for expanding your craft are all in one book. As an "experienced gingerbread" architect, I am pleased to have all the photos of good ideas. That way I can take someone else's idea and add my own personal touch. As a family, we are at the point now where it doesn't feel like Christmas until we've built our houses. The new ideas are a must! One night last year when my house was all constructed, I got so in to it that I stayed up until 2:00am to finish it. You need a book like this which is long on ideas...have fun!
