This review is from: At Your Fingertips! A Household Filing System That Works for You (Paperback)

This is a good book which presents the essentials of a home filing system without a lot of fluff material that clutters up too many self-help organizing books these days. I appreciate the authors'professional and straightforward aproach.

This book taught me to separate my "reference materials" files from my "personal/household" files. I was filing "tap dancing" next to "taxes" and it was making me crazy.

However, because the book is written by Canadians for Canadians, and I'm not Canadian, the specific guidance on records related to legal issues such as taxes does not apply to me, and I'll have to figure out those things for myself with reference to US laws and our tax system.
