Media Appearance The Writing By Amanda Blog re-published an older book review article I did way back in 2008. I'm so pleased that these articles are still of use for others, still seen as valuable content. :) It is interesting for me to read as well, since I have not been a professional book reviewer for some time and have not offered the service for at least 10 years now. This book review is for a book promotion guidebook written by Nikki Leigh  titled Book Promo 101.

Sadly both the task of wrapping and the recipient's unwrapping create a great pile of waste. Sweat pours down our faces as we try to force just a little more waste in our basket and we began to wonder what to do about it. Saving wrapping paper and ribbons from gifts you receive and reusing them for next year’s gifts is easier said than done. In the excitement of opening a present it is not on anyone’s mind to do it gingerly, is it? However, when we unwrap things carefully we can cut out the ripped edges and fold it for storage. Reusing these folded sheets of paper and ribbons can not only reduce, but often eliminate the need to purchase more in the future. You might even find your friends dropping by to see if you have wrapping materials for a gift they bought!  We can also get really creative and have fun with coming up with ways to ...
