Customer Reviews

Exceptional Resource

This book is excellent. I bought it several years ago for myself, and my children call constantly to ask me to look up solutions for their household challenges. I decided to buy three copies---one for each of our adult children. They, like we, will find great hints and tips to make their lives easier. An excellent reference for efficient living.

A Beautiful Book!

Can a book about hints and tips for the home be beautiful? Indeed it can. And this one sure is. It is a joy to window shop through the pages of this lovely and beautifully designed book that will surely have something for everyone. I've only gone through the first few chapters -- about housekeeping -- and I've already written about 3 or 4 index cards worth of notes. Believe me, I'm not exactly the Happy Homemaker but I'm trying to mend my ways. And this book is not merely about housekeeping. In addition to housekeeping and house cleaning, the author, Cassandra Kent, has chapters about stain removal, clothes and laundry, care and repair, home improvements, home maintenance, food and drink and health and safety. This book is an excellent addition to anyone's household and it truly does have an abundance of useful, helpful and, hopefully, new information for those of us who are tired of being lousy housekeepers! The book itself is so lovely to look at, with a beautiful, user-friendly, easy-on-the-eyes layout, that even the grumpiest of housekeepers will find hours of pleasure from thumbing through the thousands and thousand of useful tips and hints. Good luck to all of you who, like me, are attempting to become reformed slobs! Already my home looks better. I now can say I no longer have a sloppy and cluttered home -- I have neat and clean clutter!

10,001 HInts and Tips for the Home

What a wonderfully interesting, anecdotally apt, and fun book to learn the "art" of running, repairing, staying on top of, and enjoying your house.

A truly helper

This book is awesome... I consult very often, and even if I don't need to consult it, whenever I have some spare time, I get my book and read something new. It's a great shower gift.

A great reference for anyone with a home

This book covers everything about running a household. It has helped me organize my pantry, move, paint, etc. It is great to know that whenever I have a problem I can just look it up. Now, if they only had a similar book on cars....
