Good May 15, 2008
This is a pretty cool book, though not quite as wonderful and helpful as I expected it to be.
 SO not helpful this book! January 30, 2007

What I wanted: a book to help me plan a party. What this means to me: ideas, themes, how-to advice for those of us who don't live in LA or NYC, recipes for those whose supermarkets don't carry 16 kinds of wasabe --WHATEVER! There should have been much more info on how to organize food (what goes with what), not just generic info generally, not suggestions for fancy-schmancy famous folks, and by the way, putting "celebrity" pix in the book at its release party ...tacky beyond words. This book is the worst book, most uninteresting book, least informative or useful book I have ever, EVER bought. If anyone wants a used copy, let me know. ;-)
 Fine, if you're a snob with an unlimited budget. And you care more about what people think than how much fun they're having. April 5, 2006

This book should be entitled, "How to Plan the Ultimate Party where money is no object if you can afford everything except the party planner". Or "Party Planning for rich jerks by snobby designers."
Parties are about the creativity of the host! Not engraved invitations.
