Book Description

May 28, 2006

What’s the secret to getting organized? Just sharpen a pencil, open this book, and let the experts at Good Housekeeping show you the way!

                                                                                                                        

It’s information central! First, Good Housekeeping’s The Complete Household Handbook helped homeowners keep their houses running well. Then, Good Housekeeping’s The Complete Clutter Solution showed readers how to banish the mess. And now the most trusted source of household information has created an invaluable spiral-bound reference that will get absolutely anyone organized.  You’ll never again lose your plumber’s phone number, forget when the mortgage is due, or wonder if the car’s ready for an oil change. Divided into sections devoted to each aspect of running a house, the organizer features write-in pages for recording vital information about cleaning and clothes care; maintenance and repair; garden and yard care; finances; decorating; vacations, celebrations, and entertaining; and cars. Additional space for notes makes it easy to personalize details, and each section includes a pocket for storing important papers—receipts, warranties, business cards, and the like.

            In addition, the experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute have incorporated helpful hints and tips throughout. So you’ll find their priceless advice on everything from deciphering laundry care symbols to finding a doctor while you’re on vacation.

A Selection of the Homestyle Book Club.

It's good to have all of your info in one spot, easy to access, but I felt that this book was too detailed. If you want every possible base covered, this book is for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars A time saver!, May 31, 2007
This review is from: Good Housekeeping The Complete Household Organizer (Spiral-bound)
We moved into a new home in November 2006 and at times need to call different people or need information on put appliances. It takes time to fill out the information in the book but, it saves a lot of time and business card mess to be able to open it and find the information that you need!!! I am happy that I bought it and plan on buying a copy for my son and daughter.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good to keep all the home-related records together., March 20, 2011
By 
Joe (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Good Housekeeping The Complete Household Organizer (Spiral-bound)
This hardcover spiral-bound book that's published by the publisher of the Good Housekeeping magazine (a very useful publication that's over 100 years old, by the way!) is broken up into 9 sections separated by tabs: safety and health; family life; cleaning and clothing care; decorating; vacations, celebrations and entertaining; maintenance and repair; garden and yard; finances and car. The page containing the tab has a pocket for receipts, clippings and other items pertaining to the section being discussed, and after a 1-page introduction on what the section is about, there are several fill-in pages, like in a journal, for you to fill out with details about your particular situation.

This book is good, and by using it, it forces you to sit down and think about things a lot of people know they should do but are too rushed in their every day life to actually do - like work out a maintenance plan for the preventive care of a car, plan a vacation or work out a budget.
