Format:Paperback
I thought this book was well-written and well organized, and I liked the idea that the two authors had different organizing styles. The pictures and examples were helpful, but I agree with the other reviewer that the type was way too small and too light. It was also organized on the page in a very odd way. In all, a helpful book, but better as a loaner than a keeper.

I bought this expecting it to have lots of ideas and product suggestions for storage and organization... It did have some good ideas, but it still was not what I expected. Perhaps my negative reaction is due to the fact that the font color for the text throughout is not the expected and readable black, but more of a heather grey with soft green for headings. Even in bright light I have difficulty reading the text. How could anyone think this was a good idea?

This book exceeded my expectations. It is full of easy to follow tips and information. The photos are phenomenal and inspiring. I subscribe to Creating Keepsakes magazine and always pay attention to the organizing tips. This book seems to have them all in one location - now I can free up space by getting rid of all of the old magazines.
If you are like me, you have so (too) much stuff (two rooms full) but haven't mastered how to put your hands on it when you need it. Thanks to this book and an assistant (just paid off my car and can now afford to hire help) I am well on my way to having camera-ready craft rooms. Wow - what a concept!

Not bad. I was expecting a bit more. It is somewhat useful for some people. I was looking for something that no one had thought of .

Great book!
This is an awesome book! I read it, then re-read it, analyzed the pictures, agonized over the shopping info, and took notes. It is a great reference book for your library.

Question
Is this a rehash of their 2007 book (a Simple Scrapbooks pub of practically the same name), or completely new material?

I found this book useless for me as I could not use most of the tips in the book. I expected there to be more ideas for organization of materials and such.
