Review
Here's another fun book from Vicki Lansky, famous for giving her expert advice in the pages of Family Circle Magazine and such classics as Baking Soda: Over 500 Fabulous, Fun, and Frugal Ideas You've Probably Never Heard Of. It takes a certain kind of creative mind to gaze over the common objects of everyday life and figure out ways to re-use and recycle materials as inventively as Lansky, but she is a real pro. Here are just a few of the hundreds of creative uses outlined: Use a waxed milk carton as a charcoal lighter by filling it with charcoal and lighting the box; protect bows on wrapped presents for shipping by covering them with those little plastic berry boxes; use a baster to suck up a dropped egg; use a paintbrush to dust house plants; use carpet scraps under typewriters and printers to muffle the noise; use a bottle cork as a drill stop; use crumpled newspapers to dry freshly washed windows instead of expensive paper towels; use a king- size pillowcase as a cover for baby's changing table; use large rubber bands to keep covers on casseroles and pots transported to a potluck; use old socks on ladder tops to keep them from marring walls. Add hundreds more ideas for everyday household articles and you've got another winner from Vicki Lansky! --Mark A. Hetts
