Harold McGeeauthor ofOn Food and CookingInHome Comforts,Cheryl Mendelson has shaped personal experience, thoughtful reflection, and years of dogged investigation into a remarkable guide to modern material life -- to our food and clothing and shelter, how best to choose, use, and care for them, and the nonmaterial satisfactions we take from them. Mendelson opens our eyes to the homes we inhabit yet know so little, to the fascinations of food and fabric, dirt and bugs, air and light.Home Comfortsis a unique and absorbing book., Letitia Baldrigeauthor ofLetitia Baldrige's Complete Guide to the New Manners for the '90sI lovedHome Comforts!There's a mountain of information in these pages -- everything from how to sort laundry to keeping fabrics from fading and from choosing the right lightbulb to create a special mood to making your own environmentally safe cleaning solutions. Here's a book that makes you want to go home again., Witold Rybczynskiauthor ofA Clearing in the Distance, Home,andCity LifeCheryl Mendelson knows the secret of transforming a house into a home. This extraordinary book is to be read for its wise counsel, its authoritative advice, and its illuminating insights into the management of the domestic realm. As if that were not enough, it is beautifully written., Elizabeth Fox-Genoveseauthor ofFeminism Is Not the Story of My LifeandFeminism Without IllusionsA treasure trove of invaluable information, a delight to read, a marvel of thoughtful common sense,Home Comfortsis all this and more. Recent changes in women's lives and expectations have tended to relegate keeping house to the realm of servant's work -- the epitome of what no self-respecting woman (or man) would choose to do. In this entrancing book, Cheryl Mendelson restores keeping house to its rightful place as the custodian of the peace, order, comfort, and sanity of our lives, simultaneously instructing us in how to do it well and in why doing it matters so much. And in so doing, she helps to restore dignity, value, and craft to the work that creates and sustains the private space that nourishes our humanity.

    I love this book. It is a great help in the house.

    Home comforts is pleasant to read and easy to consult. It is full of practical tips and it also contains some interesting historical information about housekeeping. It is a great guide for beginners and even for experts who wish to further improve their skills. Home Comforts makes one realize that cleaning is more than a humble task and that there is a big difference between owning a house and having a home. Making the house actually become your home. No title could be more appropriate for it. The book gives housekeeping (whether carried out by married or single individuals, professionals or not) the dignity that this art deserves.

    An excellent read

    This book is wonderful. It is both witty and informative. Ms. Mendelson has really captured the complexity of maintaining a household. Not only the cleaning, but the organizing and bookkeeping. As I read this book I remembered my own mother showing me how to iron, wash clothes, set a table and prepare a meal. The writing is down to earth and never preachy. I really enjoyed this book and have bought it for my future daughter-in-law. For anyone who needs to maintain a family home, no matter the size, I highly recommend this book.It teaches not only basic housekeeping, but talks of how to do it with love, laughter and grace.

    Great Book to have around the house

    I borrowed this book from my library, and found it was definately one I wanted to KEEP in MY library. I wish I wouldv'e found out about this book back when I started my own household. This book would make a great gift for newlyweds, for those just getting started out in an apartment or home. Not only does it talk about how to keep a house clean, the history of the way things were done, and how to work a schedule, it gives great tips on How to keep your whites the whitest, and remove stains of just about every kind, Food safety, and much more. Even if you already keep a neat home and a clean home, its great to have, just for the tips. Angela A.

    The Perfect Housewarming Gift

    Thorough, organized, and easy to read, this book tells you how without making you feel guilty that you didn't already know! I'm buying copies for all my friends who are moving out on their own, my siblings,...even my mother! So much to learn, for those keeping their own house for the first time or for experienced housekeepers who could use more structure and organization in their housekeeping routine.
