5.0 out of 5 stars The "Organizing Bible" for the Professional Organizer., January 15, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Arkansas, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete Home Organizer (Paperback)

After reading this book from cover to cover aproximately 1 year ago.... I was inspired to start my own professional organizing business. The tips, questions lists and reccommendations are how I conduct my eval's of a clients home when attempting to get them organized. On a more personal level... I have used this book to organize my home and IT WORKS! The author has been so gracious on several occasions to talk with me about my business and has generously given non-failing advice on how to improve it. I highly reccommend this book to anyone wanting to get organized. It also makes a great gift to clients upon completion of their organizing projects.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dated Book But Good Ideas, December 3, 2001

By	Antoinette O'Neill (Davis, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete Home Organizer (Paperback)

This is more a book for someone who has no idea at all how to get organized and is desperate for ideas.

I was hoping for some more contemporary ideas. I think the Ikea catalog had a lot more for me.

The photo's were also very dated, but you could modify the basic idea to your taste ok.

No real suggestions for small budgets or the beginning do it yourselfer.
