 The Perfect Basket February 22, 2008
This book has a lot of good ideas and is well photographed. It will make a good addition to a home based basket business library You always need more ideas.
 Some interesting ideas August 31, 2007
If you are a cook (or an aspiring cook) who wants to do some gift baskets for friends and family, this is a good book for you. There are a lot of recipes and ways to include them in the back of this book. I'm not a cook, but I do like to look at pictures of gift baskets. I was disappointed because there are only 26 pictures in the book, with about 100 different gift basket ideas in the form of lists of things to include. The pictures that were there didn't quite match the author's descriptions, either. If you are looking for a list of things to include in a basket, along with recipes, this is a good book for you. If you want visuals to stimulate your creativity, I would suggest Bountiful Baskets by Sara Toliver, or A Gift for Giving by Donna Lang.

I really like this book, with all the wonderful ideas for gift baskets. Even thought her basket ideas are adorable, I actually like the mix recipes best. She has an older book, The Perfect Mix, that is also a keeper, with great recipes for easy gifts.
One homemade gift basket pays for this book! June 2, 2006

The ideas, recipes, and photos in this book are inspiring. If you make just one pretty basket to give as a gift, the book pays for itself. I also like the idea of baskets with bathroom goodies in them. If I have company, I set one of these out in the bathroom for our house guests.
 NOT about statring a business!! For personal use only. February 26, 2006

Maybe I didn't read the editorial comments correctly before I ordered this book, but it is not what I wanted.
I was looking for information about starting a gift basket *business*. This book does not cover that topic.
It is a very nice book about making baskets as gifts for friends, neighbors, teachers, service people, etc.
There are some full-color pictures, though not of every basket idea. The resource list is strictly retail. Recipes are included for basket items, a no-no when you're selling baskets unless you have a licensed commercial kitchen.
So, while the book might jump-start your brain for basket ideas as gifts, it is not a business book.
My problem, not the book's.
