Summary: More like a short story paperback.
Review: Book reads like a short story paperback, not an analytical text with charts, diagrams and pictures. Maybe the publisher did not have these additional features available at time of print. Other texts do show microscopic examples with COLOR print. At least that was my hopes in this book. How are you going to know what mold looks like from just words. Maybe a few good pictures would help the cause. Right?

Summary: Knowledge is power
Review: I wish this book could get into the hands of all Americans! Most people are totally unaware of the range of health problems mold can cause. Many people feel sick and too often do not realize that the cause of their illness stems from mold presence in their own dwelling or workplace. This book shows how insidious mold problems can be. Mold can be growing behind drywall and you don't even know it! Yet you're experiencing health problems as a result. And unless your physician is educated on this topic or knows your home has mold growing, finding a correct diagnosis is challenging. This book arms you with the information you need. Vicki Lankarge's book lists several of the top places in your home that may be harboring mold - and she tells how to get rid of it once and for all! She provides fascinating items of interest throughout the book, one of which explains what the "mummie's curse" means. I'll leave it to you to solve that mystery by buying the book! I highly recommend this helpful book as it accurately covers a topic everyone should be knowledgeable about - since it involves their health and wellbeing.

Review: On May 9, 2003, nationally syndicated real estate columnist Robert Bruss wrote: "If you own a house or condo, or are a real estate agent, reading "What Every Homeowner Needs to Know About Mold" by Vicki Lankarge will reveal what you should know about household mold and what you can do about it . . . The book's best chapter is "Mold and Your Insurance Company." It explains which mold claims are insured by homeowners insurance and which are not. . . Without becoming too technical, this book is a superb resource for homeowners and realty agents to learn about household mold. . . On my scale of one to 10, this superb book that should be read by every homeowner and real estate agent rates a solid 10."

Summary: Great info whether you're having a mold crisis or not!
Review: We are in the middle of a mold crisis: a contractor's shoddy workmanship has led to a wet basement and a bad growth of mold in our home. The information Vicki has provided is a real Godsend! 60 days ago we were ignorant of the problem of mold; thanks in great part to Vicki's book, we have a plan of action to remediate the mold. And most importantly, we have invaluable insight into protecting our family's health. Whether or not you have a current mold problem in your home, you owe it to yourself to spend a few dollars on this book. Mold problems are going to be the "asbestos of the new millenium." You could be affected and not even know it. Good work, Vicki!!
