10-Minute Tidy Home: Hundreds of Easy Tips to Straighten and Clean Every Room of Your House

10-Minute Tidy Home is a new release in a series of how-to books (10-minute series). Much of this content was previously released in 2005 as 10-minute Organizing by Sarah Hunter. This re-format and re-release by Quarto on their Fair Winds Press imprint came out 17th Sept 2019, is 208 pages and is available in ebook and hardcover formats.

This is a very basic book aimed at encouraging and supporting readers in getting their living environments more tidy and organized. The format is simple, logical, and easy to follow. The first chapter deals specifically with the home environs, room by room. The next two sections cover entertaining, and tidiness when traveling. There is also a short index.

The content is -very- basic and common sense. It's presented buffet-style, with a pick-and-mix variety of short tips such as 'stack bowls to save space' and 'take juice boxes out of the plastic wrap so they're easily accessible' and 'store important documents and papers in a safe place'.  I could see this being a useful guide tucked into a basket of house-warming items for a newly moved out youngster on their own for the first time, possibly.

There are some high-contrast simplified graphics and illustrations, but no photography. The streamlined graphics sort of coordinate with the bullet point lists of tips for organizing.  There wasn't much here which will be groundbreaking for the majority of readers.  It is short and easy to read and the author's style is friendly, conversational, and upbeat.

Three stars.
