GREAT FOR A TEEN...

The cover makes you think this is sort of a joke book but it's really very useful for someone starting to take responsibility for their own space (be it their bedroom or a first apartment). Some of the directions are simplistic (ironing a shirt, for instance) and may require an experienced person to show them the first time but this book is helpful in getting one started. It may take awhile to get a young person to realize that like everything in life, good procedures and correct habits go a long way to making things easier to deal with and unless you can afford a maid or get someone else to deal with it, housework is one of those things that don't go away.
