FYI - 145 pages of this book are dedicated to recipes. And in a book that's only 311 pages, 145 pages is nearly half the content. If you can't cook, the recipes are practical, easy to make, tasty dishes. If you can cook (that's me), the rest of the book will still provide you with an interesting and concise (sometimes too much so) read covering banking, security, home repairs, loans, contracts, buying a car, and travel tips.

For Christmas last year I purchased this book for my daughter who had just graduated from College. Living 200 miles away, we were not able to help her with things like fixing a flat tire or finding the fuse box and what to do when you find it. I would include a box of tools along with this book for a complete gift. Also the companion book, Where's Mom Now That I Need Her? is also an excellent book. I gave them both to my son in college.

This book is something my daughter loves. Her Dad taught her many things. Since she lives in CA & we moved to WI, she misses having Dad there to help her out. Now she can figure it out on her own. She still calls Dad for directions!!!!!

I purchase this almost every year when I know young men who are graduating - it has so much practical information.
Excellent!

I have bought a copy of this book for both my college-age boys. Great-looking recipes. Sound advice re car maintenance. Grilling recipes. and more. The boys keep them handy in their apartments / dorm rooms. I think this one and the one titled "Where's Mom..." are a must-have for college students or those away from home for the first time.

This is another winner from the author of, Where's Mom Now That I Need Her?

This time, we're being given some advice on the arts of dealing with contracts, budgeting, fixing leaky faucets, tying a tie, asking for a raise, or wrapping a gift.

Outrageously useful, this book belongs on your bookshelf, if you can find a space... Now, if your shelves are too crowded, there is also some wonderful information on how to throw a yardsale! Either way, you need this book!

I recently gave this book to my grandson who is living away from home for the first time and will be a college freshman. Inside the pages of this book I found solid practical advice. I particularly liked that the book showed how to buy a car. My grandson benefited greatly from the buying a used car section.
Oh, and the recipes aren't bad either. Kudos to Kent P. Frandsen.

In addition to this book I also gave my grandon:
College 101 : The Book Your College Does Not Want You To Read (ISBN: 0966412206 )

The two books together made an excellet graduation gift. Again, I cannot say enough good words about Kent P. Frandsen's book. Bravo!

This book contains many useful suggestions and hints on solving everyday problems commonly associated with things 'Dads' usually fix. I first got this book when I went to college and still pick it up from time to time. A handy tool to have around.

This book picks up where, "On Your Own For The First Time" leaves off. These two books paired together and your child is set! On Your Own gives advice for resume writing, insurance, credit, room-mates, interviewing, shopping for cars, leases, legal matters, personal investing, etc. These two books together make the perfect graduation gift or even for the newlyweds....

This is a must buy for
- the college kid moving away from home,
- the single person that gets its first own apartment, and
- a newly wed young couple.

This one in combination with WHERE's MOM NOW THAT I NEED HER is the ultimate tool. I bought mine while I was already married and knew how to cook because it has great QUICK recipes in it and clean up hints as well as help on measuring etc.

A definit MUST BUY for every child that leaves home. and the hardcover version is great because of the ring binder. It lays flat while cooking and you can add pages.
