A Bachelor's Dream
I hate cleaning, and must admit I'm not very good at it. Part of my dislike is wrought out of ignorance. I simply do not know what I'm doing. Cooking is also not a skill I have. I need help.

"Haley's Hints teaches me to cheat my way though a lot of household problems. He covers cleaning and cooking tips, but that's just the beginning.

Like the old "Hints from Heloise" I read in the newspaper as a kid, Haley presents very do-able solutions to everyday problems. Unlike Martha Stewart's ideas, which seem unreasonable in the average income family, Haley seems to have considered the practicality of his hints quite aptly.

Whether is it is hiding food odors, discouraging ants or his various methods of removing gum from things, he has a trick to it here in his well organized book.

The guy is thorough. The sheer number of pages will provide plenty of ideas for your home. Besides making a great read for extended bathroom visits, it serves best as a reference. The index is impressive and easy to use.

I fully recommend "Haley's Hints" by Graham Haley.

Money and time saving book - a great investment
I recieved this book as a gift and I started using it from day one because all the everyday problems that you come across around the home can be solved with your household ingredients from your kitchen cupboard. I have many friends that call me when in need of help. They will know what they are going to be getting for their Christmas present.

Very useful.
I believe I used several of the "hints" within one week of receiving this book. I received it as a gift, and now am giving it as a gift to others. Everyone should have a copy of this book.
