Summary: Earl Proulx is a god!
Review: Full disclosure: I work at Yankee Magazine, and I worked on this book with Earl. That said, I'm proud to say that this book is packed with clever and useful advice: everything from how to make your light bulbs last longer to how to get the black crud off your cast iron skillet. This book has sold almost half a million copies through direct mail promotions. The first reviewer is right: it makes a great gift.

Summary: A good book of its type and great for a gift
Review: While not the best of the Penny-pinching guides this one is up there. Earl Proulexs short side trips about his long history as a contracter make this a good read as well as informitive. The 30 or so "puzzlers" (pictures of odd tools that you have to guess what they do) are fun and may bring back some memorys in the over 60 group. If you need a present for someone who likes to putter aroud the house (and says " they dont make things like they use to") this would be a great gift.
