About this title

Synopsis

Arranged into twelve mini-manuals and containing more than 650 entries, this homemaker's reference offers sound information on everything from arranging home work schedules to finding good professional services

Reviews

Household Hints should be subtitled "everything you need to know about everything." The volume is divided into six broad subject areas ("Getting Organized"; "Indoors"; "Outdoors"; "You and Yours"; "Food and Nutrition"; and "A More Beautiful Home"); each section contains entries such as garage and car maintenance or first aid and family health. The guide offers basic instructions and special hints, often illustrated with color drawings. Two-column pages and boldface paragraph headings make browsing easy. A detailed index provides extensive cross-referencing. Highly recommended. The Woman's Day Help Book is narrower in scope, covering only housekeeping chores, and specifically aimed at saving time and energy. It provides general guidelines first, including the basic theory of efficient cleaning, and daily and weekly check lists. Special "mini-manuals" follow on such subjects as laundry, ironing, dishwashing, floors, and upholstery. Within each mini-manual is an alphabetical list of key subjects that are covered in a paragraph or two. It is harder to find specific information by browsing in this title, and the lack of an index is a serious flaw. An additional purchase, at best. Susan B. Hagloch, Tuscarawas Cty.
