"A-B-C of Housekeeping" by Christine Terhune Herrick is a practical guide on domestic management written in the early 20th century. This instructional book focuses on various aspects of housekeeping, including selecting a home, furnishing, budgeting, cooking, and maintaining cleanliness, with an emphasis on effective household management. It acts as a manual for both new and experienced homemakers seeking to create an organized and efficient living environment. At the start of "A-B-C of Housekeeping," the author discusses the fundamental considerations in choosing a home, stressing the importance of affordability and practicality over mere preference. Herrick details how the cost of housing should be balanced against other household expenses, providing insights on factors such as heating, plumbing, and cleanliness that significantly impact the suitability of a potential home. The opening effectively sets the stage for the comprehensive advice and instructions that follow in the book, focusing on efficient and thoughtful approaches to modern housekeeping.
