I have always loved to create different napkin folds for my table when entertaining, and my guests always comment on them. David Stark creates some beautiful and fun folds. I got so many ideas for napkins and also for table settings. This book is beautiful to look at, and it also has some famous folds from the White House and other celebrated places. If you love to entertain, this is for you. The instructions are very easy to follow and the folding is fast.

I bought this book for my very creative fourteen year old daughter as a Christmas gift. She spent most of the morning trying all the folds and then had the table set with a variation of a couple of examples from the book for our family dinner. She had no problem duplicating the folds, the only drawback is I am now searching for another good napkin folding book for her, she is hooked.

I constantly refer to this book to show brides and corporate customers how a well folded napkin can add so much for so little. My customers love many of the "celebrities" that have their special fold- like First Lady Jackie Kennedy, Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, renowned hotels and many more. Best of all, we can show different ways of using menu cards with a great folded napkin. Now if only the rental linen companies would starch their napkins, we could have just the fun of folding!

After reading a review in our local newspaper about this book, I decided that it would make a great gift for my mother - who is quite the entertainer. She loves having guests over for dinner and doing those extra special touches, like folding napkins, using her china and silverware and including place cards for each guest. It wasn't long after I gave her the book that I was treated to seeing some of the new folds she had learned after reading this book. I loved some of the more elegant folds, like the Tuxedo and Coronation. But my kids got a real kick out of the kite and fortune cookie. I just borrowed the book from my mother so I could take another look at the ghost. I thought that would be a fun addition to our Halloween festivities this year!

I keep this book on the shelf with my linen napkins. The phots are beautiful and I find the directions to be easy to follow.

This book is very easy to follow and will be helpful in the future.

My daughter (aged 40) loved this book as she loves to entertain and is always looking for unusual dinner decorations. It was a great gift.

I enjoyed this book and the photographs. It was helpful that each step of the folding process is shown. My only qualm is that the space devoted to the history of the folds could have been used to just add more folding patterns. I had to go online to find a heart fold for Valentine's Day, when I was hoping the book had that fold. I used another fold from the book instead though, and my table was beautiful anyway.
