4.0 out of 5 stars chic craft for the holidays
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,...

This review is from: Christmas Details (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
