I was looking foward to reading this little book but was somewhat disappointed. While the pictures, quotes, and interesting diaglog were amusing as usual with Chic simple books, it didnt' give absolute information about the best ways to store things.

Storage is not a step-by-step how-to book. It will not give a to do list of things to make one's storage problems suddenly vanish. Instead it is a small set of suggestions divided up my topic (either by storage device or by room). Most often the book gives multiple suggestions for a type of storage problem instead of one correct way. I liked this approach to the problem; it is okay to be different when tackling storage problems.

Storage for all its gloss and full color photography does have some practical advice about storage and de cluttering. What I liked best about the book is how it gives many different options to accomplish a storage problem without pushing one option over another.

This is a "mini" coffee-table book. It's a pleasant read, and pleasant to go back and read every so often. Interspersed throughout the book are photographs, quotations, and a number of helpful small hints about helping you get organized. It goes over general organization issues, including organizing/storing clothing. It doesn't hold your hand and go through how to organize in 1 particular way, but it offers helpful small suggestions in how to do so.
