5.0 out of 5 stars Worth its weight in reduced plumbing bills, October 31, 1999
By 
This review is from: Plumbing for Dummies (Paperback)
Friday night, after our condominium's maintenance service had closed for the weekend, my garbage disposal stopped working. My sink was full of garbage. I remembered someone have given me a copy of this book and looked up garbage disposal. There, in several brilliantly clear paragraphs, Gene and Katie Hamilton told me exactly how to fix my machine using a little gadget that came with the machine that I would never have known had a purpose -- without electrocuting myself or cutting off my fingers. There is nothing more thrilling than fixing something you never thought you could fix yourself. (Here's a situation where the word "empowerment" really means something.) When I think of the times I have paid a plumber a small fortune for a minor fix like this that I could, with the right instructions, have fixed myself...I wish I'd had this book sooner! I am definitely giving a copy of this book to some fellow plumbing dummies for Christmas.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT PLEASED, February 20, 2009
This review is from: Plumbing for Dummies (Paperback)
I have purchased several "used books" from Amazon and never been dissapointed.I was not pleased with this purchase. The book had been more than "gentley Used". I would definitely think twice before ordering from this supplier.

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money, January 20, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Plumbing for Dummies (Paperback)
This book is poor.

The illustrations are not very helpful. Photos could be much better.

Don't buy it.
