Great "Boy" book

I bought this book for my nephew for Christmas. When he first opened it, he had the "oh great, a book for Christmas" look on his face. But, as soon as he flipped open the cover, he became entralled in the diagrams of all the inner workings of the house -- plumbing, electricity, etc. I knew he was interested in how things work, so I was happy that this book satisfied his curiosity. We actually had to make him put it away to open the rest of his presents :)
