Not since the Victorian era, when the dreaded Mrs. Beeton prevailed, has their been a single domestic vade mecum of such stature. The impeccable Cheryl Mendelson, whose 800-page magnum opus is set fair to becoming the "Joy of Cooking" of cleanliness, has compiled an astounding reference work that remains peerless.

From kitchens to bathtubs, cat piss to carpets, and dust mites to humidity, this oracle of order has compiled a unique ready-reference to domestic welfare. The index alone, with well over a thousand master entries, is a work unto itself.

From the Hoare house to your house, a classic of its kind.
