I am a huge Trading Spaces fan, so I had to have the book even though I liked Alex better as the Trading Spaces hostess. Paige took some getting used, but now she is more a part of the show than Alex ever was. While the book is mainly Paige's thoughts, feelings, and reactions... I thought that this still gave quite a bit of insight into the show and how things really work. It also gave me a new appreciation for Paige, as her work schedule is crazier than anyone could imagine. If you're a big fan of the show, I recommend getting the book, especially since the price has now dropped at many retailers.
