Decent book, some ideas dated:
For the price, this isn't a bad little book. For the reviewer claiming the ideas were "obvious", well, no one can possibly know everything.

Since I can never have every room in the house organized at the same time, I like the way this book tackles one area/topic at a time. Ideas are short and sometimes of the "duh!" variety, but overall I found great suggestions for getting things in order. The book isn't expensive and from the few ideas I got, my $$ was definitely well-spent.
