The information is presented via charts, tables, and line drawings and a text that consists of short paragraphs that aid in finding specific information quickly and easily. Eight chapters include standard directions for novices as well as sophisticated strategies for the experienced: "Home Finances" (prequalifying for mortgages, choosing credit cards); "Cleaning" (CD players, decks, miniblinds); "Laundry and Clothes Care" (spandex, glass-fiber textiles); "Food and the Kitchen" (computerized grocery lists, gas grills); "Decorating and Design" (ergonomic furniture for home offices); "Maintenance and Repair" (mulching, lawn mowers, heat pumps); "Car Care" (road-service plans, child seats); and "Safety and Health" ("hush" features on smoke detectors, first aid). A complete index is also provided.
This is a much more direct how-to manual than All-New Hints from Heloise: A Household Guide for the 90's (Perigee, 1989), which often assumes that the caretaker already knows what needs to be done and basically how to do it and so offers time- and energy-saving suggestions to speed things along. School collections will want to add The Good Housekeeping Household Encyclopedia to complement the home economics/human ecology curriculum, and public libraries will want to consider circulating as well as reference copies.
