This book has been designed for all those people.

Helpline and support: This book includes a “helpline”, which is a “first” in lifestyle craft publications worldwide, whereby support is readily available if one is in difficulty with the more elaborate folds. In addition, this helpline will offer practical advice on all aspects of home entertaining and table decoration. It is a useful additional helping hand in time of need.
