nothing too revolutionary to find here, rather a big glossy book with great pics (and teensy, hard-to-read print) that's a great library check-out item.
This was so much fun to read. There was beautiful typography, funny anecdotes, and some genuinely helpful advice. About 90% of the information inside will be irrelevant for my life, since I have an inner heart that is much fancier than my actual personality will allow me to be, but I had such a good time reading it. The book itself is beautiful and it's easy to pick up and read just a page or two - the perfect Coffee Table tome. I would have totally put it on my own coffee table if my son hadn't barfed on it (just kidding, I dropped chocolate on it - told you I wasn't fancy enough for this!).
This book was everything I hoped it would be and more. The perfect coffee table book.
Really disappointing. The book reads like a first draft of a magazine article. There's not much of substance in the text or graphics.
All in Good Taste was a really fantastic book. I loved the photos and the quotes that pop at you. The ideas for the parties (and kid's parties as well) were also very fun to read. I'm a twenty-something year old girl and I couldn't help but love everything they covered in this book. I imagined the parties I would throw in my amazing apartment one day, having many friends over and throwing the parties that are in the book, along with actually making some of the recipes in the book. Even though you can't call this a cookbook, it does give you some great ideas on what to serve at your next party and they ever sprinkled a little bit of cocktail recipes in the book as well.
This book is exactly what you expect it to be: a sparkling guide to decor, etiquette, and style.
For a 24-year-old who's living in a tiny NYC apartment and not doing a lot of hosting (or any at all), the first two sections called "Entertaining" and "Wining and Dining" were not as useful to me, but were a pleasure to read - imagining myself in that glossy role for the fun and glamour of it. The next two sections, however, which are called "Manners" and "Style," are filled with timeless pieces of advice that are useful at this and any age.
The design of the book is beautiful from page to page. It's filled with quotes and tips from role models like female CEOs to favorites like Audrey Hepburn and Maya Angelou.
A quick read and certainly one to refer back to, this book would make for a great coffee table tome!

This book is a lot of fun! The chapter on manners is succinct, charming and answers a lot of good questions.
The illustrations are insouciant. I'm looking forward to reading the books recommendations included. It feels like eating a candy apple. The red crackling laquer and the apple bursting out, sweet and zingy.

This was nice but I did not like it as much as the ones that you could tell were from Kate Spade herself. Such as her trilogy of books she did in 2004. It also felt like the tone of this book was slightly condescending.
