I didn't realize when I picked this up at the library that it's basically all the laundry info from Home Comforts in its own book. I would say this is a great resource on laundry, but if you're that into the techniques of home care, odds are you'd do better with the aforementioned title. Also, note that the section on laundering cloth diapers applies to cotton prefolds *only*, so if you use BumGenius or any of the many other brands of clothies out there that are not prefolds, do not follow her advice. I was a little disappointed about that, just because the book is touted as being updated, and it is so carefully researched overall, that I felt like it wouldn't have been hard to update that section too.
