[Nancy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another 'adult' book in my alphabet collection. It's amazing how much useful information is here, from cooking tips to removing stains to pets to decorating to removing unpleasant odors, etc., etc.

This book still has many helpful hints, but it is also very dated. For odd problems pick it up, but trust in oxi-clean and google for stains these days.
