4.0 out of 5 stars Chock full of tips for using bags to organize your life, September 12, 2000
The Bag Book is chock full of tips and ideas for using bags to organize your life. With categories for paper, plastic, and miscellaneous bags (totes, garbage, and so forth), there is a practical use for almost any type of bag you encounter in your household.

Ms. Lansky provides us with an interesting primer on the history of bags, and her environmental comparisions will finally help you solve the age-old dilemma of every grocery shopper: paper or plastic?

From getting organized with ziplock bags in the junk drawer, to staying organized using grocery bags in the closet for outdated clothing, using the tips found in The Bag Book will streamline your home organizing system

4.0 out of 5 stars Good ideas for reuse, but..., March 10, 2004
By A Customer
While the book is full of useful tips and suggestions it doesn't have much in the way of reducing getting all these bags in the first place. Would have been nice to educate people on this aspect too. E.g. encouraging people to use resuable shopping bags.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Courier-Post of South Jersey says. . ., October 6, 2000
By A Customer
Vicki Lansky has all sorts of ideas for using new bags or recycling old ones. 'The Bag Book' is full of ideas for a household item we take for granted. (excerpted from an article by Judith W. Winne, Courier-Post Staff)
