5 out of 5 stars Beautiful book   May 30, 2008

Highly recommended if you love china and setting the table. I find myself pulling this one out of the bookshelf whether I'm planning a dinner party or not...


5 out of 5 stars Without a doubt the best book about table setting for this era!   March 12, 2008

I have been collecting books for many years about table settings and have a modest but respectable collection of this genre in my personal library. I have reviewed several table setting books of recent publication and nothing compares with the style, taste and elegance this book has! Mrs. Hoffman knows table setting basics and adds her own classy twist to her table tops. I am very impressed and would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn about the art of table setting or to those who already know how to properly set a table but are seeking new ideas.

Mrs. Hoffman has set the finest example on how to set the table, and her's is the one to follow, and not those that are featured on television who gaudy up their tables with unnecessary clutter and junk.

I'm proud to own this book and have it grace my library table.


5 out of 5 stars Nothing short of perfection!   February 12, 2008

This book, in my opinion, captures it all. There is not one disappointment on any page. Mrs. Hoffman provides a complete package and does so in the most beautiful way possible. You will be graced with breathtaking china and glass, encounter exquisite rooms with tasteful decor, treated with fabulous recipes and get a glimpse of the joy and sincerity that the author radiates in each chapter. This is a real gem and a real keeper, a blessing in binding. You will rob yourself of a real treat if you don't welcome this book into your own home.


5 out of 5 stars An Awesome book of pictures, recipes and information!   January 24, 2008

This book was given to me a couple of days ago as a late Christmas present! I have already spent hours looking at the beautiful pictures and dreaming up events that I will be able to share these recipes and table settings. It is an inspiration for entertaining. I don't doubt there is a time for paper plates...but if I am inviting people into my home, I want to show them I care enough to serve them on my favorite china and in my favorite pretty serving dishes! This shows how to mix it up and make everything unique and elegant! Wouldn't trade this one for the world...hope there is a follow up edition each year!

Being very familiar with Southern Lady magazine, which Phyllis Hoffman publishes, I expected this book to be gorgeous & I wasn't disappointed. It is full of beautiful photos of all different kinds of table settings along with Ms. Hoffman's very tasteful commentary. If you love 'pretty things' & you appreciate gracious living, you'll love this book. There are a number of recipes also, and having used so many recipes from 'Southern Lady', I trust these are as delicious. If you're a lover of fine dinnerware, silver & glassware, you'll wish you had all the lovely patterns; I know I do! I've already enjoyed this book so very much, and with the timeless elegance & good taste of Ms. Hoffman's ideas, I know I'll continue to do so.
