1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of money!, February 19, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Flooring Projects & Techniques (Black & Decker Home Improvement Library) (Paperback)

Should have known better than to trust anything with Black and Decker's name on it. I bought this book for information on installing hardwood flooring.The only mention of hardwood flooring in the book is to leave it to a qualified professional. Not vey helpful for the do it yourself types. If you have a wood flooring project do not waste your money on this useless book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not enough information, July 15, 2007

E. Taylor "-e-" (Harbor Springs, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Flooring Projects & Techniques (Black & Decker Home Improvement Library) (Paperback)

I felt this book lacked the necessary information a person would be looking for in a book of this type. Although this book had somewhat detailed information on repairing and replacing the subfloor it had little instruction on installing hardwood and laminate flooring. Don't waste your money on it.
