College text and not DIY,
By
This review is from: The Home Plumbing Handbook (Paperback)
This is the text book for the Basic Maintenance Plumbing class at my local college, hence the high price. There are no color photos, few step-by-step photos, no long descriptions. There are many much better book described on Amazon. It is not remotely as good as any of the DIY plumbing books available here at less than 1/2 the price. If you must buy then get a used copy for $4.
I ended up buying Ultimate Guide to Plumbing and find it a much better book. Detailed how-to dicsussion and many color photos.
