Summary: Not Practical
Review: I agree that while the book is a series of lovely photograghs, it is not even vaguely helpful or practical in terms of entertainment tips

Summary: If you love to entertain, this book is a must read!
Review: I love to entertain and I found this book to be inspiring. Before reading it I had not thought much about how my choices of colors and textures played such an important role is conveying the mood of the occasion. Its just as important a picking the right music and menu. This book provided me with a plethora of ideas.

It makes a great gift for anyone who loves to entertain and wants to be truly creative.

Summary: The Artful Table
Review: This book is a review of the basic principles of design. There are no photos of actual examples where all the principles and elements of design are displayed. If you are looking for pictures of beautiful tables already set, this book is not for you.
