This is the home repair guide I have been waiting for! The repairs she chooses to discuss are ones you can really use. The drawings are crystal clear. This would make a great housewarming gift for a new homeowner.

This book isn't as comprehensive as I would have wanted. The information is basic and geared towards someone who has never held a screwdriver in her life. Although the repairs she reviews are thorough, I was hoping for something that focuses on more complex issues.

I thought this book was fantastic! I like to consider myself "handyman challenged", but with this book, I actually took apart a sink drain and put it back together! Correctly and working I might add.

This book has lots of tips and tricks for basic maintenance and household repairs. It describes what you need to do step by step.

I found this book to be very helpful when faced with a leaky faucet and a defective oven heating element. It is simply written and easy to understand. The illustrations are especially helpful and clear. This book is a wonderful reference and makes a great gift for all occasions.

Handy, illustrated instructions for basic home repairs. Not very comprehensive, but a good introduction for anyone who's attempting to do things like fix a leaky faucet for the first time.

Lots of clear illustrations and descriptions about just about everything in the house from leaky faucets to hanging wall paper.

Well, this is the deal here. I didn't order this book, but when it came I kept it because it looked interesting. It was, I guess. The information is simple and easy-to-grasp. I am somewhat offended by the implication that women need special books written in 5th grade language to accomplish tasks around the home that must be easy for men. Something wrong with that thinking. Nevertheless, the book is in my repairs reference section of the bookcase in case I need a quick look sometime.
