I enjoy these Dummies book ripoffs The Complete Idiot's Guide to Whatever because they leave to the imagination whether they are exhaustive guides for normal idiots, or just regular guides for complete idiots.

LOL who doesn't know how to decorate a home? Those guides are the biggest waste of timae and money. They're annoying too.
Well if that's your issue, trust me it doesn't stop there - as the owner of a painting company I can tell you first-hand that some people pay hundreds or more to get 'designer insight' from professional decorators for everything from wall colours to window dressings.
Actually, I find some of the Dummies-type books to be helpful summaries (ie: my girlfriend found their Calculus and Linear Algebra editions to be really helpful compliments to her course material in University) but agree that for some of the topics, you'd have to be an idiot (complete or otherwise) to require assistance.
Thanks for stopping by the blog! How did you find me? Were you subscribed when were still under Smithereens banner? Curious.
