This is a pretty book by the editors of a pretty website , and it’s got lots of pretty pictures and pretty fonts and pretty layouts. The premise is exactly what the (sub-)title states: tricks, wisdom, and easy ideas. Includes such helpful hints as:
- how to wash your face (apparently it’s possible to do it wrong?) (pg.24)
- use Velcro to stick things to other things (pgs. 90-91)
- use a mug to hold stuff that’s not tea/coffee (pg. 152)
- use scissors to cut things (pg. 62)
- how to set a table (pg.156-157)
- how to “jazz up old standby beverages”: rim a margarita glass with sea salt and lime, or a Bloody Mary with celery salt (pg. 146). No shit. I will say, as a Canadian, that a Caesar will beat a Blood Mary any day.
In summary: if you can already read, you’re probably too smart for this book.
