Reseñas

Hit and Miss Relevancy


(4 stars)

What can you expect from a public domain domestic manual? Some chapters are horribly outdated (for example, there is a segment on budgeting the monthly income of $100). However, many key concepts in this book still ring as true today as they did during it's compilation. As a note: a few of the chapters have quite poor audio and would benefit from revision however none were too bad to get through. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and the reflection it has stirred.

Terrible Recording


(1 stars)

Unfortunately this recording jumps chapters without completing sentences.

This is a good book. It provided some informative insight
