READERS' TESTIMONIALS (Unsolicited)

"If you are new to designing gift baskets or simply considering entering the trade, buy this book. It is an easy to follow, step-by-step instruction source (the b/w photos are exceptionally clean and clear). There are also color photos of the completed works/samples and a valuable Appendix/Resource List. Frazier offers several options for constructing your baskets, complete with "pros/cons" for each method, as well as how to fix a mistake. If you buy this book you should also get Frazier's "How to Start a Home-Based Gift Basket Business".
