Title: The Art of the Party
Product review: Renny Reynolds is a talented designer. I own his first book published in 1992 by Viking Studio Books entitled "The Art of the Party, Design Ideas for Succesful Entertaining". While browsing through Amazon, I discovered a more recent book by Mr. Reynolds published in March 2003 by Gibbs Smith in Salt Lake City. Although the name was similar, the publisher and publication date as listed were different. Upon receiving the "new" book, I was surprised to find the EXACT same book published in 1992 with a new book jacket and fly pages. What a disappointment. The pictures and ideas are dated; if you want up to the minute new ideas, do not order this book. I attended parties in the 90's that used these very themes. Why order the new book when you can have the old one with dated ideas much cheaper.
