Items: 2 copies of Sorted! The Ultimate Guide to Organising Your Life
Author: Lissanne Oliver
Retail Price: $20 ea

Description: Welcome Lissanne! We were pleasantly surprised to meet Lissanne Oliver in person yesterday when she popped into our offices. Visiting NYC from her native Australia (she's here for the NAPO conference), Lisssane gave us two copies of her new book to giveaway. This is particularly special, because you can't buy it in this country yet (but soon).....

From the publisher:

"Lissanne's best selling book contains 42 organising 'recipes' covering everything from work and paper to on the go and living. With over 250 organising tips this practical and inspiring book will solve your organising woes."

"Sorted!" is a bestseller in Australia and it will be coming to the US in November. In the meantime, you can find it for AUD$20 plus shipping from shop.sorted.net.au (no wwww).

One of my favorite commercials ever is the one for one of the label makers - in the commercial, people are standing around, scratching their heads and turning them sideways to figure out what some animal is. Then the lady with the labelmaker comes by, puts a label on, and everyone says "Ohhhhhhh!" all relieved.

I *still* don't have a label maker, the book looks like a great comfort to that hurt :)

This looks like a very handy book since I need to learn the "a place for everything and everything has a place" philosophy. I just don't know how to make room for everything!
Thanks for a great giveaway!

Uh, I'm not the worst pack rat by any means, but I've been working to get organized and sorted for as long as I can breathe (I used to organize and re-organize my bedroom/study even when I was a kid). I just love books and magazines and some knick knacks. I have a huge wardrobe. I need help.

I can pull it together enough to make my place presentable and have people over. But I've been working on a paper filing project for over 4-5 years now and it's in the final stage, but still not completed YET.

So yes, would love this book. That's the short of it.
