This lively and instructional book offers a contemporary approach to a traditional art -- that of napkin folding. Open up any page, and the immediate reaction may be "I can't possibly re-create that!" But on closer inspection, the step-by-step photos accompanied by clear, understandable instructions make it simple to reproduce any of these "professional" napkin folds. Many can be done in as few as three steps! These beautifully folded napkin designs (30 in all) will add elegance and style to even the simplest of table settings and can be the finishing touch to any well-set dinner or buffet table. By mastering a few simple folds you can turn freshly laundered napkins into exquisite shapes and designs, from simple fans to the intricately folded water lily and the bishop's hat, the traditional buffet parcel, or a playful sailboat or valentine heart! Chapters are divided into Simple Napkin Folds, Advanced Napkin Folds, Decorating Napkins (including stenciling and embroidery), and Napkin Rings. Color photos.

May 30, 2009: I bought this book because I spotted it on sale, but am glad I did. I have had a lot of fun impressing my guests with the fancy folds. I'm hoping there might be one left on sale when I go back, to give as a gift.
