For someone who really doesn't have a clue...,

This review is from: The Woman's Hands-On Home Repair Guide (Paperback)
This book isn't as comprehensive as I would have wanted. The information is basic and geared towards someone who has never held a screwdriver in her life. Although the repairs she reviews are thorough, I was hoping for something that focuses on more complex issues.

This review is from: The Woman's Hands-On Home Repair Guide (Paperback)
Handy, illustrated instructions for basic home repairs. Not very comprehensive, but a good introduction for anyone who's attempting to do things like fix a leaky faucet for the first time.
