Reviews

This book is a shameless plug for the purchase of New Hampshire's Peterboro baskets. On the other hand, it's accompanied with such good decorating and organizational uses for the basket (thank former Harper's Bazaar editor Larmoth) and elegant color photographs (credit to Monica Buck), that even the most jaded of readers might forgive the advertising source. The author edits concepts by day-to-day uses, by hospitality, for organization, and for special occasions. Ignore the text; the actual originality resides in the holography as well as in the half-dozen-on-a-page solutions for basket fillers scattered throughout. Sectional caddies, for instance, are perfect holders for crab-feast paraphernalia, get-well gifts, hostess thank-yous, et al. Woven inspiration starts here. Barbara Jacobs
