Not Better Than a Quick Internet Search submitted by Meginator on August 21, 2022, 6:49pm This book presents a large number of very brief tips about many different aspects of housekeeping, but what it has in breadth it seriously lacks in depth; as a result, I find it difficult to imagine this being a particularly useful reference book when so much of its advice is exactly what you would find from a quick internet search. I do think that a quick perusal is worthwhile for anyone who is moving into their first independent living space, as the book is quite broadly constructed and could lead readers to more specific (and more useful) resources down the road. But for most existing homeowners, this simply won’t be the best place to go to find the information it contains.
