Summary: Penetrating Glimpses of the Obvious
Review: 640 Pages of web site clippings. I found little useful information and was offended by the tone of many of the "How 2s". Too broad of coverage very little depth.

Summary: Great Reference Book
Review: How to do just about everything is a great general reference book if you want want to learn many of the basics of life. Another great thing is that the title shows honesty, it includes "just about" anything. I thought EHow did a wonderful job with this guide.

Summary: Too simplistic not enough info
Review: I needed information on how to settle a claim on my own after a car accident. This book gives very little information about any of its topics. I eventually found Car Accident Secrets at http://www.caraccidentsecrets.com which had an over 50 page book with Forms and Step by Step explanations.
That book helped me save over $3700.00 on lawyers fees and is an awesome guide before or after you have an accident.
This book is just too simplistic which I should have expected, When so many topics are covered in one book it must be really hard to be very descriptive. I should have known better.

Summary: Are you kidding!
Review: I recieved this book as a gift. I guess the person who gave it to me must really think I am stupid. Save your money, this book is childish in its approach to solving obvious simple tasks. Not one ounce of how-to in it.

Summary: Are you kidding!
Review: Look no further. Goodbye confusion. This book offers step by step instructions on just about everything ranging from money mannagement to home maintenance to personal care to gardening. It's refreshing to find 1001 different tasks and skills explained in such basic fashion. I like the 1-5 scale of difficulty "hammers" which highlight for a reader how hard it might be to complete a project. For example; carving a turkey = 3 hammers; caring for silver = one hammer and hitting a home run= five hammers. So stop procrastinating, get the book, roll up your sleeves and tackle that long overdue "list" of unfinished projects.

Summary: How to Do Just About Everything (but run a business)
Review: Not at all very helpful. The advice is too high level and not detailed enough. It would be better if the book was peppered with more valuable advice from well established and renowned advisors.Stay away from the business advice section. If eHow couldn't even succeed as a business, then you're better off not heeding its tips.
