When I first saw this book I was excited at the prospect of reading it. However, I was a bit disappointed. I expected it to be more about the life and history of Poppy lipsticks, which in a small part it was... I found it to be a bit boring as it was mostly about business tips. Granted, there is an audience for this and people would ultimately read the book knowing this. I unfortunately ended up skimming a lot of it and only reading the stories about Poppy. This is probably more a preferential thing on my part but thats the way I felt about the book. ( )
