Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

Waggoner (Classic Household Hints: Over 500 Old and New Tips for a Happier Home) has compiled more of a guide to simplifying household chores than a decorating book. Advice is given on controlling clutter, cleaning house, doing laundry, cooking and baking, gardening, and using "green" ideas in the home.

    Good Reference book!

    The book content is great and the photos are great! i like the ABC order. It's helpful to go back and reference. As with many eBooks, sometimes the pictures and the words are not on the same page which is weird sometimes when I'm trying to read about a picture.
