The Illustrated Hints, Tips & Household Skills: The Practical, Step-By-Step Home Reference Manual - Hardcover

This compendium imparts good things to know; both old wives' tales^-type hints and modern how-to instructions are presented by 10 experts in fields ranging from cooking to woodworking. Chapters cover decorating, home repairs, cleaning, cooking (featuring nearly 50 rather traditional recipes), and such home skills as gardening and flower arranging. All how-to advice is contained in step-by-step color photographs with captions; since most of the tips are not geared to professional contractors or skilled do-it-yourselfers, the recommendations will be easy to follow. All you need is time! Barbara Jacobs
