I thought this was a good book with useful advice. I liked the breakdown of months with suggested duties. Would have liked more photos to illustrate points made.

Basically, I think Martha Stewart did this book as an excuse to give lots of parties. You can say that she presents an unrealistic example for modern women, and she does, but that isn't the point. I think the point is to help you dream a bit about giving a party of your own. In that respect, well, I, I'm trying to plan a holiday open house and I lay the blame for this mad inspiration at Martha's feet.
