Customer Review: If the show inspired you, buy the book
If you found the Grand Designs show an inspiration that left you wanting to find out more, then I'd recommend this book. The photography is great, and while it's not a guide to “The Good Life”, you should find enough inspiriation that if your thirst is generally wetted, you'll be looking in to the sustainability issues much more. A fantastic Christmas present.
“Which?” Book of Do-it-yourself (”Which?” Guides)
If DIY is a scary prospect for you, then The “Which?” Book of Do-it-yourself can certainly help. But be careful, it may just tip you over the edge as you realise that there is now no excuse for not getting those pesky jobs around the house done right! Mike Lawrence will astound and enlighten as he guides you through a huge diversity of information, from how your house is actually constructed to the knowledge you need to build a custom tool set to cater for the most obscure demands property ownership can throw at you.
There are four major sections in the book. “Around The House”, “Materials”, “Tools” and “Techniques”. The first, as previously mentioned, explains how your house is actually put together, meaning you’ll have knowledge that will prepare you for what you might find behind that wall or under that floor. “Materials” completely demystifies the world of the builders yard and this will help you get the trade discounts and not appear to be a complete idiot when you go to buy the raw materials you’ll need. “Tools” will mean there’s now no excuse for using a piece of household cutlery to undo a plug, while “Techniques” will help you lend professional insight and flair to your projects so that the finished result isn’t the dogs dinner it might otherwise have been.
The projects cover everything you can think of, from servicing the expansion tank on your central heating system through to erecting a garden shed and all the information is supported by great illustrations. It’s genuinely amazing. Every topic covered also has a handy “Life-Belt” paragraph, so if you do botch up the task in hand you have the information to allow you to back track and start again. Some tools seem to have American names, a crow-bar or jemmy is known as a “wrecking bar”, but this is just nit picking. The “Which?” Book of Do-it- yourself is otherwise almost perfect.
Did you know a good way to remove excess paint from a brush is by dabbing it against a piece of string tied across an open paint tin? No, neither did I. It’s that kind of detail that’ll keep you awake at night wondering what to take on next. Don’t over do-it-yourself it! –Tony Martin

Customer Review: The Royble Explained - at last!
The authoratative guide to Roy, Honest Pat and the Ayselbury disciples Well worth the read straightforeward, no-nonsense. Just what we’ve all been waiting for. Lacks any mention of Schoon but the section on John Purslow more than makes up for that. Highly commended
Customer Review: Get to know your house!
This is a really clear, totally straightforward DIY guide. If, like me you’ve just got started on DIY it goes a long way to reassure you that you’re not undertaking the impossible. The diagrams are good and despite being a paperback it’s actually very comprehensive and told me about stuff that I had no idea would ever need maintenance! It’s quite ‘dad-ish’ in tone but that makes a nice change from all the handy andy quick fix books that are around at the moment. Thoroughly recommended.
