My wife and I bought an Arts and Crafts era bungalow with hardwood floors. Neither of us grew up with hardwood floors and were at something of a loss as to what to do with them. This slender volume concisely but fully explains how to care for these floors. It includes methods for assessing the floor and determing what measures are needed for its preservation.

I bought this book to get guidance on restoring the wood floors in my home. It's alright. It wasn't what I thought it'd be and I think it could be a bit more specific on the types of floors when you evaluate them. For the price it's not bad.
