2.0 out of 5 stars most disappointing, January 5, 2002

By	Lindsey Brage - See all my reviews

It has been a long time since I picked up a book that I found thoroughly useless. I don't enjoy giving a bad review, but I'd also hate for another user to waste their money on this book. This is an excellent example of how you should NOT judge a book by the cover (The cover is beautiful... but the content just doesn't live up to it.)

If you'd like to know 27 different ways to take a bath, or 364 ways to use lavendar, read this book- otherwise avoid it. I don't know about you, but I don't need to buy a book to remind me to hug someone on November 15. Not only was the book just useless- I found grammatical errors!

The book is a pale imitation of a Martha Stewart "How To" book. If I had not received it as a gift I would return it immediately.
