This book literally comprises 896 rules of thumb. Moreover, it is well-indexed. However, since the copy I read was published in 1983, it is primarily of historical interest. Here, for example, one will come across a submission from West Berlin--a place that more than two decades ago combined with East Berlin. Many items are dated, although some still certainly apply. Readers will get a sense of real, capable (mainly-American) DIY culture in, for example, entries about running a dairy farm, diggin..more

A fun read which you can actually use in real life. Most of the principles are true; 'To determine if a fish is fresh, check its eyes; they should be bulging, shiny and bright.' It does have some errors like this one; 'To cook rice, rest the tip of your index finger on top of the rice and add enough water to reach the first joint. This works for any size pot.' The amount of water needed to cook different types of rice vary and this might misled people. Some are quite vague like; 'If you really nee..more

Some rules are interesting, some are dumb, some are wrong, and most are irrelevant. An interesting and short read, though I don't think it really helped me that much, just some observations. overall, eh.

UPDATE: Just saw this review and thought, 'Hell, this guy's pretty rough on the book and pretty stuck on himself besides.' Then I clicked 'Edit review. . . ' I probably should clarify a few things: 1. I, myself, am a hack writer. 2. I have now read this book more than once. 3. My characters may not spout trivial nonsense, but they do spout nonsense. I think I'll shut up now. ***ORIGINAL REVIEW*** This is the kind of book you see on hack writers' shelves, well thumbed, when their work is full of charact..more

This was a really fun and hopefully informative read for me. I already subscribe to this blog, so when I stumbled on the book I figured it would be good. Basically it's lots of 'rules' submitted by readers of the blog (apparently they do go through an approval process, so the odds of them being flat out wrong are largely reduced) and by an advisory panel from the site itself. Topics were very wide ranging, which I think is good bc there's info for everyone and you can kind of skip around without..more

I really enjoy books like this. In fact, when I was a child I kept my own notebook that I'd fill with trivia I found interesting, things like, 'Bees have hair on their eyes.' Some of these rules of thumb are immediately practical, many are fascinating but useless (to me), and the remainder are a little funny. I picked up this book at my local thrift store and it was a great read for the price I paid (10 cents), but I'm sure visiting the Rules of Thumb blog would give a similar experience.

I picked this up on a whim at a Borders closing and I am totally glad I did. Some of the rules are just common sense, but others are so obvious that it's really a wonder I never thought of them before. Super Funny!!

There were quite a few rules that I don't think I would ever need in my life time. Although there were quite a few rules that I highlighted as being useful. It was a fun pocket-size book to carry in my purse and a good read when I was waiting in lines or in waiting rooms.

Nice collection of rules for life. Mostly for residents of the USA, but non-resintents will also find useful advises.

Just a fun read. Pick it up and thumb through it (pardon the pun) and smile.
The problem with this book is that when you run into a rule of thumb that you know doesn't work, it kind of taints all of the others that once seemed like good advice.
Funk, yes. Helpful, less so.
