Indispensable. And hilarious.

Not only is this the book I refer to every time I have a hangover, need to remove a stain, or am going to a fancy dinner party where I anticipate being confused by the forks, it's also the book I most frequently open when I want a quick chuckle. My copy is well-thumbed, and it's my favorite birthday gift for friends in their twenties.

great for over-30 too

Adcock's wit and smart, funny writing makes me not mind that I'm catching up on some of these how-to's even though I'm past 30. A gem of a book--great as a gift or for yourself.

Witty AND Informative!

I bought this book for a friend who just turned 30 but before I sent it on to her I had to take a peak inside--needless to say, I wound up keeping the book for myself! Siobhan Adcock is a wonderful writer with a charming and witty style. She kind of reminded me of a cross between David Sedaris and Emily Post! The book is both helpful and practical, with very easy to follow instructions, and devilishly entertaining. Buy it!

Wow! I loved this book. Not only is it a great how-to book, full of all sorts of practical and easy to follow advice, it's also hilarious. Ms. Adcock has a unique voice and her how-to essays are not your typical, put slot A into slot B descriptions. They are smart and charming vignettes that sympathize with what it's like to be a modern -- and often frazzled -- not-yet-thirty-something. Ms. Adcock gives great advice on how to become a more competent, and hopefully cooler, adult. I recommend highly.

Finally!

I cannot tell you how much I love this book! I wish I had this before I turned 30 but I will give it to all of my friends in the under-30 set. The book contains easy to understand how-tos with beautiful, clear illustrations on things like carving a turkey, folding a fitted sheet and opening a champagne bottle without looking like an idiot. I'm so glad this book was published!
