  • Don't Throw It Out Book

    I LOVE this book! It is a little dated but still applies to items today. You may have to consider newer technology, or appliances or whatever, but I think it is a good source of how to make things last longer. Things today are definitely not made to last like when I was younger. A lot younger. Check this book out. It makes for some interesting reading. A big thumbs up!
