5.0 out of 5 stars If it ain't broke, you don't need this book. Otherwise...
...you need this book. While it lacks the narrative arc of, say, Moby Dick, it's just about as long -- and a heck of a lot more useful. Just the thing for an impromptu Nantucket sleigh ride (see p. 347). Look, what with what plumbers charge these days, you'll save the price of admission just as soon as you've saved $27. Extra bonus tip: If you have a table with one leg...

2.0 out of 5 stars Lots of useless facts
This book had lots of fix it facts but most were common sense or useless.

How to get super glue off your fingers.. or how to fix a Casette Tape.

Seems like this would NOT be the 1st place to look up something when I need to fix it. Its more of a bathroom reader quailty. You may remember what you read here but I will look elsewhere first.
