One can only imagine what a dinner at one of his tables would be like. The china is amazing and the mixing and matching of colored glassware inspiring. I wish there had been more on his silver collection, but the dishware was enough. So beautiful and filled with ideas to make everyday dining fun.

This is a nice book....kinda like the "nice" boy your mom tried to set you up with. Nothing wrong with it but no WOW. I wouldn't have bought it if I'd looked through it. Will put it on the shelf until someone admires it and then it can go home with them.

The designs in this book are exquisite. Very helpful in attaining a different look when entertaining. Flowers, candles and all the things needed to design the perfect table setting and atmosphere.

Does not have an inviting look about it.
The photos do not present an engaging book. I could recommend this book only to someone who already has an extensive library on table settings.

I love to use different table settings at my annual holiday sit-down dinner and this book gave me some ideas. However, a lot of it was way over the top. Read more
