Customer Review: great garden guide
I bought this book for my husband who wanted some advice on basic DIY skills in the garden, like fencing and path-laying etc. This book, like others in the series, is well-written, easy to follow and clearly illustrated. It is an absolutely ideal book for anyone starting out in laying out or tidying up the garden. It gives sensible advice and produces professional results without being in the least bit patronising, at the same time it doesn't waste time showing unrealistic projects that the average gardener would be hard pressed to fit into anything smaller than a public gardens. A really good book, essential starter, but still not too basic for more advanced skills.

Customer Review: Talks you through all tasks step by step
I’ve just moved into a house needing some TLC and bought this book, along with some others, to give me guidance on DIY. I’m not a complete novice, having put up a shelf or two in my time, but was looking for reassurance that I was going about things the right way. I found this book the most useful of the selection I bought. It talks you through a job, step by step, and gives you lots of advice, tips and tricks along the way. It covers every subject area, has far more information in it than the glossy colour books I bought, and explains everything clearly, without being patronising. It’s, in fact, quite an entertaining read! I recommend this to anyone about to start a DIY job.

Customer Review: Excellent
Title sums it up really. Bought as I was starting to renovate an old house. It’s got damp, needs bathrooms, kitchens, exterior problems etc…. This book helps a lot to indentify and solve these, at a minimum you know what you can do and when to call in the professionals!
Customer Review: How to do everything … in two paragraphs
There is no denying the scope of this book is, to say the least, comprehensive. It covers almost every topic imaginable in DIY from dry lining your basement to capping the chimney and covers it at every range whether you just want to change a fuse or rewire the entire building. That scope though is both its virtue and its problem. Yes I can pick this up and be fairly confident that it will tell me how to go about building a stud wall but I know that it is also likely to be something of an overview of the subject rattled off in a few paragraphs. Often that is enough. There are a lot of jobs where a grasp of the basics and a willingness to have a go are good enough and if I’m laying new paving slabs I’ll read this and go for it. Alternatively there are some jobs where I’d like a little more expertise than this can provide. Yes this book will tell me how to change the main fuse box but I’m not going to do that when it means working on the live side of a 100 amp line! In those cases though at least it lets me know roughly how difficult the job is so that I don’t sound like a complete numpty when I call an electrician and ask if they could replace the ‘thingummy by the front door with the fuses in it’. I’d say to anyone that they should buy this book even if you don’t ever intend to do the DIY yourself. If you do the DIY this is a good first reference to find out what to do. If it’s not comprehensive enough then it will give enough of an overview that you will know what to look for when searching for more detail and if you do get someone else to do the job you’ve a better chance of knowing if they’re doing the right thing.
