The I Hate to Housekeep Book

Do you face cleaning day with a migraine headache? Have you let your furniture get the upper hand? If so, switch to Peg Bracken. Here is aid and comfort for all who secretly or openly hate housekeeping chores.

Among the very useful and funny contents are: "Don't Just Do Something, Sit There", "Stains, Spots, Blots, Scars, and Dueling Wounds", "How to Be Tightfisted without Having It Show", "The Hostess with the Leastest", and "How to Be Happy When You're Miserable".

There are hundreds of sensible suggestions on house cleaning, handling of electrical equipment, care of clothes, and entertaining. She even includes hints on household chores that don't need to be done at all, if you're careful. Among the original and practical ideas she offers are the household "clutter deposit"; the Useful Box, Instant Housekeeping.

Housekeepers of every variety will find this book as much fun to read as to follow. Included too are more uncomplicated recipes and Hilary Knight's inimitable drawings.
