Not so helpful,
By Suzanne Sellers (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Home Book: The Ultimate Guide to Repairs, Improvements & Maintenance (Hardcover)
I was dissapointed with this book. It had great pictures and information about home repair but many of the subjects did not give any tips on how to do the repairs. For example tuck pointing bricks: The book showed examples of when it needed to be done but there was not one tip on how to do it.

Short on details,
By T. Toth (Turlock, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Home Book: The Ultimate Guide to Repairs, Improvements & Maintenance (Hardcover)
I regretably returned this book since it did not describe how home improvements should be done but instead it just describes what needs to be done. The book read more like an encylopedia than a "do-it-yourself" manual - lots of information but not very helpful. I much prefer Standley's home repair manual which describes, for instance, how to caulk or different techniques for sanding.
