Summary: Informational and fun
Review: I think what impressed me the most with this book, besides the content, is the way it's put together. Ellen Sandbeck gives the readers some attention-grabbing headings, which lead the readers to her informative information. Being homemaker, gardener, and graphic designer, Ellen Sandbeck is experienced in the know how of what works and doesn't work in our homes and gardens. She tells us how to use the right things in the correct method. She gives us up to date statistics and tells the truth about the chemicals we use in our homes and gardens to fight everyday common problems. I loved the way she captured my attention with these captions: Explode Cockroaches with baking soda and sugar; Petrify a mouse with a plaster of Paris cocktail! Honestly, this one is a keeper and I highly recommend you buy it. It's will be money well spent! Brenda @ MyShelf.Com

Summary: Slug Bread and Beheaded Thistles
Review: Slug Bread and Beheaded Thistles, by Ellen Sandbeck saves my household from using wicked chemicals. Borax and sugar for ants, and rotten bugs in water are now what we do to keep our house and garden freer from pests. Thanks Ellen Sandbeck!

Summary: It has some good tips
Review: The book did have some useful tips. I felt that she used some scare tactics in order to get her point across about doing things more naturally. She mentioned her sources but I kept wondering if some of the things she mentioned were a one time thing or if they were really potentially harmful (ie: chemicals and such). Like I mentioned, the book does have some useful tips and I learned a couple of things that I didn't already know.

Summary: Both Fun and Useful Information
Review: This book is a revised, upgrade of Ellen's original self-published volume by the same name. A lifetime artist and "original person" who has invested herself in this really unique, one of a kind book.... The book is worth price of admission for the graphics alone. Well researched, entertaining, informative.... a lot of superlatives could be used here. The newly released edition is nearly twice as long as the original, without dilluting any of the flavor. I don't think you could go wrong buying this book since if you did not care for it yourself it is guaranteed to be a good gift for someone you know. Lots of interesting trivia, only more useful than those trivia kinds of books.

Summary: Man's Best Friend
Review: What great aid and funny read for those of us guys who don't have lots of experience or love of household duties. (I was drafted, so I won't comment on everyone else's excuse.)
