A Must Read For All Those Who Struggle With Any Home...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Marylouise Oates has written "the book" on second home but in the process has filled the book with helpful hints for any home! I plan to leave my copy on the table for all my weekend guests to help them know good behavior! Her advice constantly reassured me of my own decisions on weekend entertaining and drawing the line. The book is extremely well written, funny and a must read. Hopefully the publisher will see the wisdom of a series of "Marylouise Books...". Move over Martha!
