If you are a collector of Martha's Halloween Holiday Magazines then this book is just a compilation of all her awesome ideas over the years from those particular magazines. But as far as being all about Halloween decorating, this book is pretty much the best one I can think of. The photography and layout of the book is really good and constantly inspires me to get new ideas every time I read it.
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and this book has some great ideas for crafts, costumes and food. One of the best halloween inspired snacks was for ladies fingers and men's toes, I brought these to a Halloween party and they were a big hit.The crafts and recipes in this book are fairly easy to make with planning. Don't try to pull anything off at the last minute. But with some planning and the right tools/ingredients you can achieve a really beautiful finished product.
I was a little disappointed when it arrived. Halloween is not a big deal here in Australia, so I was looking for a inspirational book with plenty of how-tos and ideas. I bought this book after combing the Martha Stewart website, expecting more of the same great stuff. Still a good book, but I'd recommend going though the website first - a lot of the stuff in this book is contained there anyway. The book has a very appealing look, and is still a good read, but for sheer volume of ideas, all with easy instuctions, use the website.
This is a good book but I couldn't help thinking that with some time I could find all these ideas online. But if you want a Halloween idea book for your holiday collection this is a great book and Martha's ideas are timeless and fresh. I don't regret buying it.
This book is wonderful. If you are planning a party for Halloween or just a fun time for your family this book will give you great and simple ideas.
