I won't buy a house without it!

I will never again buy a house without Frank Cook's book, You're Not Buying THAT House Are You? by my side. Actually, I may not even go to sleep again without reading a chapter a night...just for the humor alone! Seriously folks, this book has had a major calming influence on my life! Our first experience of buying a house included every disaster that Mr. Cook describes , but I only now see some of the humor in it...1 book and 12 years later! Even Frank Cook's Table of Contents is a joy to read. One-liners like, "One (realestate) agent is not enough, but two is way too many" says it all...doesn't it? Then there's the chapter, "The House Hunt" where Frank calls it "a game of hunters and the hunted, but you're not sure which one you are!" And, my all-time favorite, "Moving the Kids: Yes, you have to take them with you!" But, at the same time it's a straight-forward, dead serious, extremely helpful easy read....Don't buy that house (or maybe, anything else} without it!
