Description

The time-tested advice you never learned in school for getting back to basics and running a healthy, happy, sustainable household. Back in the day, young people (well, young women) used to learn life skills like budgeting, cleaning, mending, and meal planning in their home economics classes. But nowadays, we're just supposed to figure it out for ourselves. It's no wonder many of us feel a little lost. This Modern House compiles real lessons from early- to mid-20th-century home economics textbooks to finally give you the household management training you never got in school. You'll learn to shop frugally, cook nutritiously, reduce waste, clean with natural products, and spruce up your home and wardrobe without breaking the bank. In this amazing collection of proven wisdom and practical advice, you'll find everything you need to know about shopping, cooking, cleaning, budgeting, and managing a household like an adult-whether you're renting your first apartment or establishing a family home. Previously published in 2010 as Home Economics, this fully updated version includes a new introduction, improved advice on cooking and canning, and more inclusive text and illustrations.

Great experience and I have zero concerns. They communicated through the shipping process and if there was any hiccups in it, they let me know. Books arrived in perfect condition as well as being fairly priced. 10/10 recommend. I will definitely shop here again!

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
