Waste of money...:
I bought this because I saw Grahm Haley on my local PBS station. He seemed great but I was so diappointed with this book. The book is awful, difficult to follow, difficult to find solutions for what your looking for. Make a donation to PBS instead and get his videos.

Away with Toxic Chemicals:
It's amazing how well Haley's suggestions work. Why buy chemicals that could ruin your family's health when you can use these simple items already around the house that will work even better. Graham Haley gives solutions that are priceless.

Haley's Cleaning Hints:
I ordered and paid for this book in November 2003 and have yet to receive it and it is now March 24, 2004. I have e-mailed bibliophiliacs on at least three occassion but they have yet to relpy to any of my e-mails. I will never do business with this organization again is they do their business this way.
