1.0 out of 5 stars Not helpful enough, 25 May 2008
By Tyke (England) - See all my reviews
This book will probably not meet the requirements of either the absolute beginner or the improver and will be of no help for projects which are other than straightforward in a modern house. Though beginners may find snippets of useful advice in all sections, the lack of in-depth instructions and photo's will leave them having to look elsewhere to fill in the gaps Tommy leaves. Improvers are unlikely to find anything new.

Tommy's main focus is on how to assemble and fit flat-pack units, but much of what he imparts is usually covered in the instructions which accompany such units.

There are colour photographs on each page, some of which are linked by numbers to the text, but few are helpful. The text (copyright Tommy) is easy to read, but it is too frequently littered with his friendly asides, occupying line-space which would have been better used on advice for the reader. Moreover, presumably to give himself cast-iron underpants, Tommy reiterates safety advice every verse-end, instead of stating it once at the beginning.

An early chapter shows the required tools for the job, which are fairly standard kit, but in the section on how to fit worktops, he casually suggests buying a `special routing jig or template' and router, in order to create mitred joints. His instructions and the accompanying pictures on this topic just aren't clear enough for a task which would fall well outside the skills of a novice and which improvers would tackle with trepidation.

The book lacks essential info about different plumbing parts, eg, types of joints and waste traps and doesn't mention the pros and cons of push-fit vs compression fittings. Also, too much space is given over to pictures of large kitchens.

Overall a disappointing book which, despite the claims made on the flyleaf (`an in-depth look at the kitchen .... [which] will help those who ... don't know where to start) seems uncertain about how high or low to pitch its advice and consequently misses its mark.
