chic craft for the holidays, 8 Oct 2000
By Ramona Lumsden - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Christmas Details: Simple, Creative Finishing Touches to Transform Your Home during the Holiday Season (Hardcover)
This has to be one of the most beautful craft ideas books I have ever seen.Mary Norden has a very contemporary eye for detail, there is a touch of Martha Stewartness about the presentation but without any fussiness (Nordern suggests tapered candles in a galvanised bucket, but she never suggests you make the candles yourself!) A glorious indulgence - you know what I mean, the sort of bed you can take to bed with you before you fall asleep dreaming of actually getting the christmas cards in the mail before New Years Eve

Lovely photography but few details and some odd ideas, 14 Oct 2004
By chintz22 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Christmas Details: Simple, Creative Finishing Touches to Transform Your Home during the Holiday Season (Hardcover)
The best thing about this book is the photography, which is lovely. What is being photographed ranges from the mundane to the odd, and the ideas rarely said "Christmas!" to me. For instance, for the white decorating scheme the author suggests tying string around a white rock and putting it on the napkin in your placesetting. The author gives few details on how to achieve the looks she writes about. I was very disappointed.

Beautifully presented, but not very detailed, 2 Jan 2004
By Amanda Richards - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Christmas Details: Simple, Creative Finishing Touches to Transform Your Home during the Holiday Season (Hardcover)
This is a very nicely presented book. It is a conveniently sized hardcover with attractive dust cover, and has excellent pictures. It can even be used as a coffee table book.With regard to the content, there are some very good ideas, but firstly, some of the items required are not easy to get, and secondly, the more complicated projects do not have enough detail in the instructions.
I also found that some of the projects don't look that good if you take away the fancy settings and lighting effects used for the photographs.
Not a bad book, but it's more for show than function
Listmania!
