This was a Christmas present for my daughter who knows little about home repair. I hope it will be helpful.

I bought this self-help book for my young nephew (he is married and father of 2; his dad passed when he was 14...no one taught him the basic things to keep a household running). It is a Christmas present. Finally he will have a research book on hand for simple 'fix-it' jobs.

This was purchased as a gift for my son-in-law. As I told him, it is by far the best do-it-yourself home repair manual I have ever seen or used. It is clearly and logically laid out. Illustrations are in full color and large enough to easily identify the part(s) to be worked on. Diagnostics are systematic without being wordy, and very accurate. It also tells you when you have exhausted all do-it-yourself op;tions and need to call in a professional -- something some repair manuals don't do. It's the first and usually final place I look go to for information on home repairs, major appliances, electrical repairs, and plumbing repairs.
My only complaint is that the binding on my copy eventually broke after several years of heavy use. I guess I'll just have to buy another copy.

I purchased this book as a Christmas gift for my son. I started to leaf through it prior to wraping it and I am glad I did. This book was published in 1977 and although there is a lot of information - much of it is outdated - how many people do you know who own electric typewriters or bonnet style dryers in 2007??? I would have been very embarassed to give this gift. It has been returned and we purchased another book from the local home improvement store which contains all of the newest technology with regards to home repairs, etc. Sorry I was not happy with my Amazon purchase!!
