5.0 out of 5 stars Very good!, March 9, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Big Book of Home How-To (Better Homes & Gardens) (Hardcover)

A superb book! (And a heavy one!) Tons of practical advice, very detailed and good illustrated. Highly recommended for the home owners (especially the new ones, like me) who are ready for do-it-yourself projects but don't know the how-to's.

By	N. Moore - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Big Book of Home How-To (Better Homes & Gardens) (Hardcover)

A novice can take this book and follow the steps in it to complete repairs, remodeling, or upgrades. I originally borrowed it from the library and then decided I HAD to own it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and Easy to Use, June 14, 2008

By	Mom and Engineer (Illinois) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Better Homes and Gardens Big Book of Home How-To (Better Homes & Gardens Do It Yourself) (Paperback)

This book has clear illustrations go to along with their directions for basic home improvement and repair needs. There is a large variety of information available in this book and has so far helped me with electric work and tile work. When it came time to call a professional, I felt better informed for the discussion of what I wanted for my house.
