Review: How to Set a Table

How to Set a Table: Inspiration, Ideas, and Etiquette for Hosting Friends and Family

How to Set a Table
Clarkson Potter

This small book would make a wonderful gift for someone either just starting out or moving to a new home. The fabric cover makes it look elegant and expensive. Inside it offers some good tips about which pieces of tableware to select and why one might want one as opposed to the other.

Having purchased a new set of flatware recently from Oneida, I was quite pleased to be able to review this book. While to be honest there isn't a great deal of depth to this book; it does provide a source of inspiration for creating beautiful table settings. It doesn't just focus on formal dinner parties either; it shows examples for informal dinners or even takeout dinners. So why keep all the good pieces locked away in the China cabinet, have some fun once in a while, or every night for that matter and set a beautiful table. It just might elevate dinner to another level.

Thanks to Blogging for Books for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
