Reader reviews from the first edition: ‘I first found this book at my local library and liked it so much I had to buy it…full of helpful hints and useful information.’ ‘With lots of basic information that is normally skimmed over in other books of this kind, I found this one to be quite comprehensive, and extremely useful in my efforts to both simplify and economize my household. I have already saved more than the cost of the book, so I'm very happy!’ ‘This is the sort of book that is just handy to have around whether you are a seasoned household management expert or just a beginner! Lovely to look at and quite broad in its range of topics, a super book to have now when more and more of us are returning to older ways of doing things.’ REVIEWS ‘This is a book that will suit anyone wanting to love a greener life and save money along the way.’ Countryside Magazine ‘…a very down-to-earth-guide. The only way it could more user friendly was if the authors came round and did your garden and cooking for you.’ lovereading.co.uk
