Homemaking for the Modern Woman review
A $17.99 ebook on running a household, credited to a doctor with an invented degree in modern home economics.
Pass
Household management is a real skill set that nobody is taught, and combining cleaning routines with meal planning and budgeting in one place is a sensible package. There is nothing risky about the subject, which makes this one of the milder titles in the catalogue. What remains is the value question: cleaning schedules, meal planners and budget templates are among the most freely available material on the internet, usually as printable files, and this listing promises no templates at all. The credited doctor holds a PhD in Modern Home Economics with twenty years of experience; home economics exists as a field of study, that phrasing of it does not.

House, meals and money together
Decluttering, cleaning, routines, meal planning, cooking, budgeting and atmosphere.
Combining the three is more useful than another decluttering book.
No planners included
The listing promises no printable schedules, planners or checklists.
Those circulate free in large numbers, which is what most readers actually want.
The co-author's degree does not exist
The listing credits Dr. Shirley Andrews with a PhD in Modern Home Economics and 20 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across all 84 titles from this seller: each book gets its own doctor with a PhD in exactly that book's subject.
Three of those names appear twice with different doctorates and different decades of experience, so the credentials are generated rather than held.
The rest of the numbers are decoration
Claims 366500+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.
The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.
