2.0 out of 5 stars A poor value, January 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: This Old House Sourcebook: Where to Find and How to Use Tools and Materials to Fix and Improve Your Home (Hardcover)

Not enough detail on any subject, a lot of color pictures and not enough text. I sent my copy back, I suggest you pass.

5.0 out of 5 stars Covers a lot clearly, succintly...and with real-world advice, November 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: This Old House Sourcebook: Where to Find and How to Use Tools and Materials to Fix and Improve Your Home (Hardcover)

If you want to understand the basics...and how some of the most celebrated pros handle them...this is the book. Nicely done. A great overview...and an ideal companion to the show or the magazine.
