Customer Reviews

Great Book!

I'm a sucker for home repair and how-to books, so I have several at home, but they are all in English. I found this book at the local library for my husband who is not a native English-speaker. He liked it so much that I told him I'd order it for him. I think it is the first book he ever owned that was all his, so when it arrived I made him put his name in it. He was thrilled. It's a great book with concise instructions and many pictures to demonstrate each step. I'd recommend it to anyone who needs a good home repair book in Spanish.

My new favorite home repair guide

A good home repair guide is an absolute requirement for those of us who know very little about home repair but feel the urge on occasion to tackle some of those odd jobs around the house. While there are many guides on the market today the best ones have an abundance of photographs or detailed illustrations to help the reader see what they are supposed to be doing. With over 2,300 photos Black and Decker's The Complete Photo Guide to Home Repair is the epitome of this class of books. Processes and techniques are described step by step in detail with no prior knowledge assumed. Everything is so well done anyone can complete any of the projects if they can read and follow directions. I've had several home repair books, but this one just became my top choice for the one I want to have around as my primary reference. The Complete Photo Guide to Home Repair is a very highly recommended book for every homeowner or handyman.

about time

was looking for a book with many visuals and pointers, in the style of DK books. The library had the usual books of mostly text and poor visuals, but this one really breaks ranks and stands out to help as a instant information assistant.

A great new homeowner starter book!

I just bought this book and really love it. It's simple and easy to understand, and considering that I have never done much home repair before, this was a plus. It's the hammer and nail equivilent to that Betty Crocker cookbook we've all be hauling around for years. Always something new that you never knew you needed!
