Singles, young marrieds, college students, and others all have one thing in common: sooner or later, they will need to learn the basics of housekeeping. This book could be a big help to them all. Fifteen chapters by 11 experts cover such topics as buying a car, laundering, wine selection, personal finance, etiquette, and travel. This work attempts much and largely succeeds. In clear prose, it relates many useful details and provides checklists, references for further information, and toll-free and online contacts. Many books give such information, but few are as comprehensive as this one. Edited by the author of The Interior Design Handbook (LJ 1/95), this is recommended for public libraries.?Pamela R.
