October 31, 2006 -- Phoenix, Arizona-Women are actively becoming more self-sufficient. Even home maintenance and remodeling is growing particularly female-friendly, with basic tools modified and strategically marketed for women. However, when a professional must be hired, it can be intimidating when faced, as can happen, with a Spanish-speaking-only laborer. She: no español. He: no ingles. A home maintenance or remodeling communication problem often costs extra time and money. Bobbi Fischer, co-owner of Golden West Publishers has been through the experience and offers a solution to the problem: Just Point and Communicate!™ for Homeowners, a new English/Spanish communication concept.
Especially helpful for women, but applicable to all - including seniors and homeowners in Hispanic-heavy regions - JPAC for Homeowners includes task-specific phrases and numerous illustrations, with point-and-communicate simplicity. Useful categories assist with hiring and giving instructions, and focuses on a dozen of the most common home maintenance, repair, remodeling, and housekeeping projects. No single woman should be without it! From roofing to tile laying, gardening to carpet cleaning, and painting to pest control, it's a unique and instant solution to communicating effectively in both English and Spanish. Just Point and Communicate!™ for Homeowners also serves as a reminder in any language, of the questions and instructions that should be communicated on home maintenance projects.

Print-quality images are available and Ms. Fischer is accessible for phone or in-person interviews, to relate the somewhat frustrating, ironically humorous, and ultimately inspiring life-experience of how her scribbled notes for Just Point and Communicate!™ for Homeowners from more than three years ago, became a unique series plunged into Golden West Publishers' 35-year-old line of cookbooks. "After my personal experience of not being able to communicate with tile layers for three weeks in my home, I knew I had to come up with a tool to bridge the language gap," says Fischer.
In addition to Homeowners (8-½ x 11", $19.95) the Just Point and Communicate!™ English/Spanish communication series features the Construction Series, with the General Contractors, Builders and Supervisors edition (8-½ x 11", $24.95) that includes eight construction trades. The trades are also available in pocketsize books for the construction jobsite (4-¼ x 9", $14.95 each).
