Best home improvement book I've seen.,
By A Customer

I've read a number of these books. This one is very complete. The illustrations are excellent and the topics are covered in adequate depth to help any home handyman.

Tbe Best Basic Home Improvement Book,
By R. M. Hutchins - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Home Improvement Encyclopedia: Problem Solving A to Z (Hardcover)
I, recently, purchased this boook (my brother said he had one, and it was great). I flipped through most of the book -- it isn't the kind of book you sit down and read straight through. I've done a fair amount of handyman stuff around the house (I just replaced the motor in my dryer - which wasn't too difficult once I had the right parts). Well, as I flipped through the book, I would stop and read sections which interested me. There are well-written sections on, basically, everything about a house and what is in it. After spending about an hour scanning the book, I said to my wife: "You could build a house with the information that is in here!" It is one of those "I'm glad I bought this book" books. A great book to have if you're looking for stuff to do around the house; it is a real "Home Improvement Encyclopedia."

If it's not in this book, don't attempt it.,
By Timothy M. Scoggins - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Home Improvement Encyclopedia: Problem Solving A to Z (Hardcover)
I picked up this book in Home Depot back in 1997. At a glance I found out how to take out a load bearing wall, something I needed to do. I bought the book, and with it I had the confidence to take on a major remodel of my house. The book has everything, from framing an addition to fixing a leaky faucet. I consult it often. Right now (03/2002) I'm using it to build a shed. The language is clear and concise and the book doesn't waste words. I recommend it highly.

Down to Earth and UNDERSTANDABLE,
By John & Nancy A. Geddes - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ortho's Home Improvement Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
Being as how my husband is in his 60's he has done everythingbut build a new home. In 1990 he was given your encyclopedia as agift. He wishes he would have had this fabulous book 30 years sooner.It has become his Bible for any kind of situation that he has run into and he has found it invaluable for things he has not done. Due to this fact we have decided to purchase your latest book for our Daughter. She seems to take after her dear old Dad and has to call him on projects or repairs that she gets involved with. Such as installing ceramic tile, toilet innards, thermostats etc. I am sure that through the years she will find it as beneficial in her undertakings as her father has. To think our daughter purchased this book for her Dad so many years ago and now one is being given to Her.
