Martha Stewart's Homekeeping Handbook: The Essential Guide to Caring for Everything in Your Home

I bought this book because somebody suggested it to me while attending a bridal shower. I was a little disappointed. It's just very basic stuff that you can easily find it online by Google it. I have to admit that it is a very nice present for newlyweds.

I bought Martha Stewart's Homekeeping Handbook for my daughter's bridal shower, and though I haven't read it myself, I can say that she is enchanted by it. She even reads it when she meant to be involved in preparations for the wedding. The night we were talking on the phone and she wanted to get back to the section on "five types of kitchen towel weaves" that I realized Martha had a whole lot more advice to give her than I did. We both believe that "a cat can look at a king"--i.e., we don't have to be like Martha in every particular, but we can enjoy watching her at her domestic best, and she inspires us to be a bit more conscious of making a house a genuine home.

After I read The Big Clean: How to Organize Your Pad and Free Your Mind , it inspired me to get more orgazined and cleaner, so who better to go to than Martha S? I got this book and was amazed at its size, and the volume contains just about everything one would need to clean the house. Get this one--it's worth it!!

When I finally ordered this book after drooling over it for months I couldn't believe how HUGE it is. At first, I thought they had shipped me an extra book by accident. This book truly is an encyclopedia of cleaning. I had no idea that people did most of the things in here, and I learned that I've completely destroyed the finish on my sinks by cleaning with Comet and a serious scrubbing sponge, the way my mom taught me. She even tells you how to organize, pick cookware and bakeware, remodel your kitchen, and so much more. I recommend this book to all who have a home and especially for those awesome stay at home moms who get all tingly about cleaning the house, inside and out, like myself. I didn't like Martha Stewart before, but I'm definitely a follower now.

The book is great exactly what I expected.
I ordered 2, 1 to give as a gift and the only problem was they came and were a little tattered.
