    For Martha Completists Only

    This book could have been better if there had been some color photos included. MSL is known for its wonderful photography which enhances its compelling content. However, this very thick, heavy book lacks readability. It contains a lot of great and worthwhile information but it is presented in a dull and boring way. I suppose it's handy as a reference guide, but with everyone nowadays having computers, tablets, smartphones, etc. this info is available at your fingertips. No need to go wading through such a voluminous book, especially when there are no color photos at all, save for the cover. I guess the publisher wanted to save money, but in the end, people might not buy it for that reason so their cost-saving is counterproductive. This book is only for those who want every Martha Stewart book ever written.

  • Must read for any home

    This book answer a lot of questions I had about cleaning and organizing my home. I’ve already done some of the suggestions in the book and I feel cleaner and better for it. It’s amazing what just changing up a few habits can do in the life of your family. It’s a good book to flip through when you need a reference for anything home related.

  • A good reference book for caring for your home

    The book was much thicker than I anticipated when I ordered it. But, it has a great index so you look up specifically what you need. Very helpful book.
