Description:
For the first time in nearly a century, a sole author has written a comprehensive book about housekeeping. This is not a dry how-to manual, nor a collection of odd tips and hints, but rather an eminently readable explanation for both beginners and experts of all the domestic arts—choosing fabrics, keeping the piano in tune, caring for books, making a good fire in the fireplace, ironing and folding, keeping surfaces free of food pathogens, and everything else that modern people might want to do for themselves in their homes.
