4.0 out of 5 stars Great fun reading! Fantastic packing tips!, June 9, 1999

This review is from: Packing by the Book: What to Pack, How to Pack (Paperback)

I really loved reading Corkum Nyks' book. I have to admit that many of the packing failures sometimes hit to close to home. However, after reading the book I now save a lot of time packing and more importantly unpacking my business and holiday suitcases. Good value for money!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is fantastic!, June 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Packing by the Book: What to Pack, How to Pack (Paperback)

Living in Europe with relatives in the States this book really made me realize it is not how much you can pack or schlepp it is what you pack and how efficiently you can do this. I recommend this book to all you overpackers out there!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you Corkum Nyks!!, July 10, 2001

This review is from: Packing by the Book: What to Pack, How to Pack (Paperback)

WOW!! As a first time beach house renter, I had no idea what to take until a friend recommended the list on page 162 in Packing by the Book. We had everything we needed because we took the right stuff and didn't have to spend our vacation dollars on unnecessary purchases for the house. I recommend this all inclusive packing book to anyone who is going to the beach (or anywhere!) and wants a list of the right things to take along. Timeless advice!!
