Review
Here's another fun book from Vicki Lansky, famous for giving her expert advice in the pages of Family Circle Magazine and such classics as Baking Soda: Over 500 Fabulous, Fun, and Frugal Ideas You've Probably Never Heard Of. It takes a certain kind of creative mind to gaze over the common objects of everyday life and figure out ways to reuse and recycle materials as inventively as Lansky does, but she is a real pro. Here are just a few of the hundreds of creative uses outlined: use a waxed milk carton as a charcoal lighter by filling it with charcoal and lighting the box; protect bows on wrapped presents for shipping by covering them with those little plastic berry boxes; use a baster to suck up a dropped egg; use a paintbrush to dust houseplants; use carpet scraps under typewriters and printers to muffle their noise; use a bottle cork as a drill stop; use crumpled newspapers to dry freshly washed windows instead of expensive paper towels; use a king-size pillowcase as a cover for baby's changing table; use large rubber bands to keep covers on casseroles and pots transported to a potluck; use old socks on ladder tops to keep them from marring walls. Add hundreds more ideas for everyday household articles and you've got another winner from Vicki Lansky! --Mark A. Hetts
