Martha Stewart's Homekeeping Handbook: The Essential Guide to Caring for Everything in Your Home Hardcover – Illustrated, 31 Oct. 2006

I have resisted buying this book for ages because of the expense but, in a weak moment, I treated myself. I am a big fan of Martha Stewart's practical approach to just about anything. I wish that I hadn't waited so long. This is a very useful book. The sort of manual that you buy once and refer to over a period of years whenever you are stumped about how to deal with something. It is like having your granny on the bookshelf or a modern-day enquire within. I would highly recommend this book and think it is brilliant value for money.

Amazing book. Great quality print, and great tips. Haven't read it all, because frankly I think it's the kind of book you read from when you have a question, but so far I found it very informing.It also has a great plastic cover on top that protects it. I have to admit the size makes it a bit difficult to hold while reading, but I guess it gives you a bit of a workout while reading.

Thats exactly what it is, you have great references, how to clean nearly anything and everything. Its kinds of cleaning household manual. It is not one of those books from Martha you would go through it in few days from front to back BUT it is great book to have at home and use it as needed. I have been very happy with the book and would recommened to any household small or big for the great tips!

Incredibly useful book to have. Some of it we all know if you have common sense, but very much worth getting if you like to keep a nice house.

The only reason why I gave this book 5 stars is because I don't believe Martha Stewart wrote any of this- apart from a few personal words before each chapter. This book is written by professionals within specific industries linked to homekeeping and is therefore very detailed and specific- to the point I felt a little bored. With soo much information- I finished the book without remembering much- I felt a little overwhelmed by the sheer facts and instructions.As someone who (don't laugh) enjoys homekeeping books I would definitely recommend, this is a book I would use as a homekeeping reference/ encyclopedia. I would not buy if your after a quick read on how to improve ones homekeeping.

Great book, full of lots of information in a easy to reference style , makes a great present for the new home maker or to refer to for the older home maker

Every home should have a copy of this. A good reference guide to household management.

Thanks a lot
