The Good Housekeeping Institute has been the housewife's touchstone for over eighty years, its reputation for "tried and tested" recognised by both public and trade alike. This home handbook is a culmination of their expertise, offering invaluable advice on subjects as diverse as laundry techniques, kitchen appliance purchasing, first aid and getting rid of junk mail. Handily presented in a spiral bound form within sturdy covers, it deserves a place in every home. Divided into four sections it covers buying goods, care and cleaning, problem solving and an in-depth directory of Good Housekeeping contacts, listing all the products, supplies and useful organizations mentioned. Never again be wary of extended warranties, cleaning your antique furniture or lodging a written complaint. This home bible advises on all in a clear concise fashion to ensure you get the best you deserve. - Lucy Watson
