I have the other two halloween books from Country Living and when the description for this new book stated that this book contained the best ideas from the previous books and some new ideas, I was hoping for some more ideas from the magazine and web site, but no, I found only a few new ideas. So if you have the previous books too, I do not suggest you purchase this one...
BUT if you do not have the previous books, then I would describe this book as having a lot of fun "family-oriented" ideas for a calm, clean, crafty autumnal holiday!

This review is from: Country Living Happy Halloween!: Bewitching Parties and Recipes, Enchanting Pumpkins and Decorations, Plus Lots of Other Spine-Tingling Ideas (Paperback)

This is a compilation of ideas that Martha Stewart and Matthew Mead and every other specialty publication already did over the years. To add to the insult, it has a terrible cover as the black cat is actually a cut out which makes it flimsy and easily rips.

Not worth the money.

I'm not familiar with the other Country Living Halloween books, but our family was really impressed with this one. We loved the unique decorating & party ideas. The tasty recipes are very creative! It also gives you ideas for parties, including recipes for adults and gross ones for the kids. We will definitely use this book again next year!
