Restorers and Renovators Need This Book

This handy book includes information and handy tips on making an older home livable and lovely in a relatively inexpensive way. Although I would like the book to give more attention to "Restoration" which includes keeping as much of the historic character of the home as possible, the book is still useful for an owner of an older home. The tips and techniques are also applicable to many maintenance needs in a newer home.
