Title: I realize I'm in the minority here...
Product review: I thought I would weigh in, since all the reviews here are glowing. I expected to find this book helpful (Bridal Bargains by the same authors was excellent), but for several reasons, this book was a waste of my money. We live in a big city without a car, so the car seat discussion was not helpful; we co-sleep with our baby so we didn't buy a crib; we are using cloth diapers and so sections on diapers and diaper pails (the company provides this) weren't relevant either; etc. It was depressing, reading all the sections on expensive must-haves, when really you *don't* need to buy so much for your baby. The authors give advice on ways to save money (mostly by buying quality items that will last, a no-brainer) but ultimately, you could just reject the notion that most of the items in here are necessary and be a lot happier.The sections I could have used help on, maternity clothing and baby announcements, were missing a lot of good sources.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
