The New Year's Eve Compendium : Toasts, Tips, Trivia and Tidbits for Bringing in the New Year

Rating:
Summary: Not worth it.
Review: Haven't readers had enough of these cute little compendiums full of trite tidbits on trendy topics? Lo and behold here's another, on the rituals and customs of New Year's Eve. What have we done for all these years until this came along? When will publishers figure out that we, the general public, are not totally incapable of throwing our own celebratory gatherings without the guidance of another self-proclaimed hipster?!

Summary: Paris is burning
Review: Hmmm. Is there something burning? I seem to be smelling flames here. I found this book after reading the author's "Domain" book, and found both to be charming. Reader criticisms of books are extremely useful; personal vendettas against authors aren't.

Summary: The New Year's Eve Compendium
Review: This book was not very helpful in trying to plan a New Year's Eve party. Rather than compiling useful information about the holiday (histories and traditions), this book is mostly poorly written personal opinion.
