Every ‘How-to’ need to know at your fingertips


Quamut: Loosely derived from the Latin word for how-to and pronounced “kwa-mut,” Quamut provides users with free, online access to professionally written and edited “how-to” guides covering a diverse range of topics, from “how to make a perfect martini” to “how to produce a podcast.” The site, which is powered by Barnes & Noble, features a collection of over 1,000 “how-to” guides, across five different categories: House & Home, Hobbies & Leisure, Money & Business, Computers & Technology, and Mind & Body. All of the guides include step-by-step instructions, complete with brief historical tutorials and “what you’ll need to get started” lists where applicable, and due to a recent partnership with Videojug.com, a growing number of “how-to” video tutorials are also available.
