Industry Reviews
Basing his work on his experience with customers, Lipper, a manager of a baby-goods store, has written a highly usable guide with wife Joanna about the various baby products on the market. With humor, the Lippers offer advice on what and what not to buy a newborn. Categories cover the nursery, layette, carriages and strollers, car seats, and feeding equipment, among others. A section on product and safety regulations is informative and bound to educate the shopper. Products are rated as a "must have," a "might want," or a "totally optional," with price ranges and recommendations offered. The authors are neutral in their advice, declining to endorse any particular product or retail establishment. A list of manufacturers with phone numbers, a "When You'll Use It" chart, and the tips dispersed throughout enhance this neat reference source. While intended for parents-to-be, this book will benefit future "gift-giving" grandparents as well. Recommended for public libraries. Bellinda Wise, Nassau Community Coll. Lib., Garden City, N.Y.
