5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must-read for any home buyer or owner., 10 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: How a House Works (Reader's Digest/the Family Handyman) (US Edition) (Paperback)
This book is a rare blend of the fundamentals of residential construction, expressed in the most friendly language. Duane has an unusual two-fold gift to understand all the technical aspects of our homes and the ability to communicate that expertise in the most approachable manner. It's like having the 60-year wisdom of a construction foreman and a dutch uncle in your back pocket. I have given copies of this fine book to all my nephews and several friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars An awesome, easy to understand look at a house., 30 July 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: How a House Works (Reader's Digest/the Family Handyman) (US Edition) (Paperback)
I've looked at a lot of "home" type books and this is the best one that I have seen. It takes a home and explains in the simplest terms, how it works ('wonder where they got the name of the book?). The illustrations are absolutely top notch. Buy this book!

Holmer (Shropshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How a House Works (Reader's Digest/the Family Handyman) (US Edition) (Paperback)
An excellent book for North America; to which style of building and fittings most of the information refers; but not suitable for UK building generally
