A good quick guide book, Feb 7 2009
By April L. Yetter - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Quick Guide: Stairs & Railings: Step-by-Step Construction Methods (Paperback)
I consider myself as a serious DIY with attention to detail. I have remodeled nearly every room in the house. Built the cabinets, plumbing, wiring, tile, hardwood floors and windows.When it came time to replace the stairs, I looked through my collection of Fine Homebuilding and didn't find much help. I found a DVD from TheStairGuy.com. It is not worth the time or the money.
My wife purchased two books for Christmas for me. This one and Building Stairs by Andy Engel.
The book Stairs & Railings is advertised as a quick guide and that is what it is. It covers the basics of stair construction with little fluff.
The book Building Stairs is an excellent book that covers all aspects of construction and trimming out the stairs. It is comprehensive and easy to follow. It is an excellent book and they complement each other. I would recommend getting both of them.
