Review of The Beverly Hills Organizer's Home Organizing Bible: A Pro's Answers to Your Organizing Prayers (Paperback)

I was excited to buy this book after hearing rave reviews about it.When I got it, I set aside some time and started pouring over all the chapters.Unfortunately, I rent a small apartment with not a lot of storage, small closets, and not many cupboards.I figured this book would be perfect.Boy, was I wrong.If you don't have large closets, a ton of cupboards or a pantry, this book will be a waste of your money.The only good tips I got from it was how to fold my clothes, socks, etc., so that I could fit more in my drawers.The rest of it I skimmed through, and then put the book away since I couldn't use it.As I said, if you own a home, this book would be perfect for you.If you rent a small apartment with not a lot of closets and storage, then don't waste your money.
