I liked the book, but was a little disappointed with it. When I saw that it had "over 250 inspirational ideas" I thought, "WOW I have to get this book." And after reviewing it, there are many good ideas, but most of them you could see in a home and house magazine or from watching Martha Stewart. There are ideas for planning the storage ideas for closet space or shelving systems and instructions on how to make a laundry bag in a basket or a shower curtain pocket thing. The photography is beautiful and there are small tips and hints in the book, but for the most part it's just pictures of how it should look. This is not a book for anyone looking for ideas on how to shelve books. I was hoping that there would be an excellent section and I was very upset to only find 3 pages worth of information. All in all it's a good but, definately not the best storage book for your money.

The book delivers everything it says it is going to: 250 ideas for stylish home storage. The problem is that the scope of the book is far too large. You'll get storage ideas for every room in the house, for your garage, your garden, everything. This means when you really get down to it and want some stylish storage ideas for, say, your bathroom, there are really only 10 or 15 of them. I think it is more likely that most people are going to be interested in storage ideas for a particular room and thus a book that offered 250 ideas for stylish storage in the kitchen. Feel free to browse through this book in the bookstore but you'll probably want something a little more focused.

Uses: Hide a burn on table, no one will move it, use when you run out of Sear catalog pages, burn to get a fire started, hit your spouse, and the main reason to build outdated storage that didn't even look good in the 50's. This book is a zero for ideas. What do I have to pay you to take my book? Not even the generous one star I gave it.
