Negative Positive
Title: Tired after 20 years
Review: White candles in green apples? Basket of oranges next to the freshly squeezed juice pitcher? I'm a fan of Wolfman and Gold's "A Place for Everything" and expected a lot more from this book including some detailed information about what constitutes the "perfect" setting and how to create a lovely table. Unfortunately, the place settings shown in this paperback version (a reprint but not an update of the 1985 hardcover) seem tired and worn out 20 years later. The photos are particularly disappointing - poorly lit and oddly flat with lots of shadows and blurred effects. Check out A Place for Everything but give this one a pass.
