INTRODUCTION

THE HINTS BOOK ALMANAC

This book has been a long time in the making and is way beyond necessary. It is the kind of tool that really needs to be prominently displayed in every home. It contains over 1700 helpful hints, each discussing unconventional uses for the many products found in nearly every home. Anyone of these tips might be the one that really makes someone’s day, or might be the one that saves them enough time, trouble, or money to make the purchase of the book a fantastic investment.

The most important portion of any HINTS BOOK is the index. You have to be able to find the exact hint you’re looking for, at the precise time you need it. The index in this almanac is the most comprehensive of any book of this type we have been able to locate, often displaying a single hint under several topics.

The book offers numerous uses for common household products in uncommon ways. It has been prepared in a manner which should allow all of those little helpful hints you have been saving (and hopefully many that you are hearing about for the very first time) to be found in one location, within easy reach and easy to find when needed. Although there are some hints relating to cooking, we have intentionally tried to avoid including the majority of cooking tips, since they are generally found in most cooking books.

It is recommended that you read this book in its entirety, familiarizing yourself with the many varied uses of the products discussed. You should then keep it available as a reference tool. Hopefully the indexing will allow you to find any particular hint when you need it, but by reading the entire book, you will have an idea of the multitude of ways these products can be used.
