Invaluable

To quote "The New York Times": "...the invaluable "National Trust Manual of Housekeeping" from England, a book crammed with advice ranging from how to remove a book from a shelf (by clasping the spine) to how to clean ormolu (dust lightly with a pony-hair brush and only once or twice a year). For those who want to do it right to a fair-thee-well, it doesn't get any better.
