Packing light is the way to go!
I picked this up at the library before a trip. It has a lot of good lists and tips - though sometimes the sheer volume of lists make you realize wow, I really don't need to pack that much stuff, that helps me pack less just looking at it.
I haven't decided if I will try her bundle method or just stick to rolling clothes. I will definitely continue to try to pack less on every trip. I will also look for more travel worthy fabrics when I can. I have packing cubes that I just got and LOVE, and the s...more

While this book goes into a lot of detail on selection of luggage, it also has some great packing lists, including packing for kids. I found a lot of the tips and suggestions really helpful and look forward to trying to go completely carry-on on my next adults only trip.
This book was okay. It had some helpful lists, but it had way more than I needed, so I only read part of it. It did help me pack lightly for my upcoming trip!
There couldn't be a better book on how to choose luggage, travel clothing and accessories - and then explaining how to pack them.
A few useful tips and good checklists to serve as packing launch pad, but overall didn't revolutionize my way of packing. Also a bit outdated.
It had some very useful suggestions on packing lightly, which I would like to implement. I borrowed it from the library & think I need to purchase it so that I can use it while packing.
Really great resource and well organized.
This book changed my life!!!!
I've traveled quite a bit in my life and I enjoy packing. So it's weird that I would pick this up at the library. However, I am a chronic overpacker and with my upcoming trip, I will be testing out her bundle method.
I found some good tips though I knew most of it. It has a lot of resources listed, which could be useful for new travelers who are clueless on where to start, what to look for, etc.

I picked this book up out of curiosity, and didn't expect to get much out of it, but I was wrong. There are many helpful hints for preparing for a serious traveling trip and the packing technique in itself seems worthy of a try. If the technique actually works in not only conserving space, but eliminating wrinkled clothes, then this book is endlessly valuable.
Some good tips on traveling light.
