A comprehensive guide featuring more than four thousand practical tips, shortcuts, and how-to suggestions for the home encompasses topics ranging from money management to etiquette, plumbing and home repairs to emergency first aid. Reprint. 30,000 first printing. This book first came out in 1988 and has been in my general "how-to" library ever since. Updated and reprinted in 1994, it is still one of the most extensive household help books I know. It has tips on organizing your home, cleaning, repairing things, gardening, caring for pets, even record-keeping and decorating! Well organized, well indexed, and easy to use, this book is packed with a whole lot of information on practical matters of living, and you'll find yourself keeping it within easy reach!
