1.0 out of 5 stars British buyers beware!, 4 May 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Reader's Digest New Complete Do-It-Yourself Manual (USA Edition) (Hardcover)

This is a US edition and is unsuitable for buyers elsewhere. For example, the electrical stuff is all American standard. And if you buy it and decide to return it because it is unfit for purpose, Amazon will refuse to refund your postage.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best out there for REPAIRS, 1 Sep 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Reader's Digest New Complete Do-It-Yourself Manual (USA Edition) (Hardcover)

I have this book and think it's GREAT for projects that you're doing from scratch (like replacing bathroom fixtures), but it's NOT a great Home Repair manual -- there are a lot of minor tasks that go virtually unnoticed and undescribed (like re-caulking bathroom fixtures). A good book to have in your home reference library, but definitely not my first choice!

5.0 out of 5 stars A resource every homeowner should have!!, 19 Mar 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Reader's Digest New Complete Do-It-Yourself Manual (USA Edition) (Hardcover)

I am by no means a handyman, but with this book I can pretend to be one very effectively. The money I have saved by do minor repairs myself instead of calling a professional is a 100 times the cost of this book already and I have owned it only 2 months!! Get your copy today!!
