      Ordered cookbook Friday night. Shipped Saturday morning. Arrived Thursday morning from adjacent state by USPS Bound Printed Matter in good condition. Grey plastic envelope was used (no bubble wrap). Not sure if bent corner was from shipping (see photo). One page had large corner torn off (see photo). Accurate description. Printed invoice included. Still a good value on a used book from a not-for-profit organization. Thanks!

      Excellent transaction. Great comms, excellent pricing; item's condition was better than advertised (used CD). CD was well packaged (very important for a fragile jewel case), and shipped in timely manner. Seller made this sale a positive experience. 5 Stars all the way!

      This is the second copy I bought of this book. The first copy was the wrong book. I sent a picture and they responded with an answer that didn’t match the question so I bought it again. Got the right book 2nd time! Thanks!

    • Great book!

      Each day I started reading, I couldn't wait to put it down to get rid of stuff. This book prompts action. The idea that less stuff means you will be happier and have more time in your life spoke to me! Love this book. I just read it and plan on reading again and again to help me emotionally get rid of stuff and to stop emotionally shopping for things I don't need. This book has already paid for itself.

    • helps to make home run harmoniously

      This book cuts to the chase of "how to de-clutter" without feeling deprived. She describes the effect of doing so and how that makes a smooth-running and "great to live in" house. . The chapters are short (quick to read if reading time is short, or a dose of motivation is needed!), and written with humor. It covers not just the rooms in the house but also the attic, basement, and garage. It gives ideas on how to keep the main part of the home tidy by getting the whole family into the idea of how to be neat. The idea of using what she calls "Modules" is right on. Definitely worth the purchase and read of this book!!!

    • Insightful and Compelling

      Extremely helpful for anyone who wants to take back their home and life from the consumer society we live in. The Joy of Less teaches you to be happy with what you want and need and to get rid of the things you done, while simultaneously helping you to prevent the further buildup of stuff. 10/10, would recommend to anyone.

    • Many useful hints

      The book is a comprehensive guide for people like me who are dealing with an overwhelming amount of stuff in and around your house. It has a good structure, reads like a novel and doesn't just tell you what you can do, but motivates you to do what you need to do. I highly recommend this book and would be even more frantic about it, if it was printed where it was written.

    • The Joy Of Less

      Throw out all your hoarding, psychology and organizing books! This cuts to the point and should be your go to guide if you have too much stuff! It is the ONLY thing that has worked for me, and I have tried everything else.
