Format:Paperback
I'm sure that there might be some useful gems of information somewhere in here but his ingratiating folksy style has put me off trying to find them. There are a preponderance of Questions and Answers that start in the style of 'I'm telling you, Mr Window, this interlocking weather stripping is for the birds' you'll perhaps understand. Even the normal prose is full of rubbish like 'Ear Protectors. For all you baby boomers and heavy metal devotees who never missed an ear-splitting live concert, wearing ear protection at this point in your lives might seem as useful as had Napoleon II looked back and said, gee, Dad, you really should have stayed out of Russia'. Give me a break. It is a shame that I can't give it zero stars.

Excellent source of practical advice for repairing and renovating old windows. Cons: lack of pictures; focus on American products.

The best book on window restoration and repair.
19 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you have old windows in your house and you can use a screwdriver and hammer, this book will tell you how to renovate them. I have been rebuilding windows for 40 years, and still get good ideas from this book. Well worth twice the price.

Good information and fun to read
6 July 2008
Format:Paperback
This book covers the restoration to working condition of various types of windows found in old homes. The information is presented in a clear, easy to follow format. Unlike most books of this type it is written so well that it is fun to read even if you don't want to fix windows. The author has a great sense of humor and I often found myself laughing out loud and learning at the same time.

Useful information
8 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback
This book was very helpful in showing how to repair old windows. It is geared mostly to windows that have pulleys and weights however. Mine have friction brakes on the side so that part wasn't helpful, but there was a lot of other good info.
