Format:Hardcover
This little book is chock-full of new and interesting ideas! A 'green' section as well. I thought I knew most of this 'stuff' - but learned things I either never heard of or thought of! Nice pictures too. It would be perfect to include with a wedding gift or for somebody setting up their first home. Or for me - I'm going to buy a copy:)

It's fun,interesting to read and does have some great ideas. Country Living Books, which hasn't disappointed me yet,are beautiful books. There was also an offer for either a free subscription or a small rebate. This book is smaller than most CL books so it is easy to slip in a tote bag and take w/ you.

Bought it for my Wife
She made me READ it. Found some good points in it. Allot of common sense, something that seems to be lacking in the younger generation these days.
