More extraordinary Uses for ordinary things

We are enjoying all the ideas. It made a great Christmas present from us to friends and many in the family. It has a "companion volume" which we have and sent on to others-also enjoyable, clever and informative.

newest and best

I've purchased many, many books of this type, but this is the newest and best by far. I thought I had read most of the hints and tips published, but I found a whole new collection in this book. The layout and sections are easy to read, and you can find what you are looking for quickly. Well worth the money!

A home can't be without it!

This is one of the best books I own, hands down! I work at a Library and have an extensive home library but this book gets used more often than anything else. It is well organized, alphabetically, and outlines the many uses for everyday household things. For instance, there is a whole section on what you can do with Vinegar, a whole section on pepper, and so forth. Did you know that if you put pepper on a fresh cut, it will stop the bleeding immediately? If you become the proud owner of this book, you will. And you will know many more useful facts that you can share - you and your friends will be amazed :)

A book to beat the system..

This book gives many ways to get "bang" for the bucks you shelled out on products. Excellent little problem solvers and repurposing ideas. It's worth twice the price.
