As we might expect from a book sponsored by a retail company, most of the tips and tricks are accompanied by suggestions of products selected from the Kaufmann Mercantile store that will help to get the job done. According to the author and editor, this book began as an instruction manual to help the reader craft, grow and build while living in the everyday world. They discovered that every task has an art attached to it that calls for creativity and consideration of those around us and of the earth in general.
The tips and tricks and DIY instructions are categorized into sections to do with ‘Home’, ‘Kitchen’, ‘Garden’, ‘Outdoors’, ‘Grooming’ and other general tasks. This means that it will be relatively easy to find the instructions when a dilemma strikes. There are 228 pages in this lovely little hardcover so there will probably be something inside for everyone.
