Tommy Walsh’s DIY Survival 
You almost expect a 3-D cut-out of TV’s DIY expert Tommy Walsh to fall out of this bright blue hardback, Tommy Walsh’s DIY Survival. To start with there’s the vibrant colourful layout, the bold graphics and lots of readable small chunks of text with super-clear photos. Then there are the cheesy pics of Walsh (plenty of them) in an assortment of DIY garb, from shorts to trackpants, sporting an encouraging smile while holding up an assortment of tools. DIY Survival is designed to be fun but it’s also a lot more than that.
Should you be in the throws of major DIY expeditions, this might inspire a tantrum, because let’s face it, we all need a Tommy Walsh of our own. But this is probably the next best thing. Here’s a bloke who wants to do more than demystify DIY. He hopes he might even save us the average call-out fee of ?50 for a plumber or builder.
DIY-phobics will greatly appreciate the simplicity of the instructions which seem idiot-proof and include all the basics from explanations of tools to changing a light bulb, and planning before a DIY task. As for DIY-fanatics, keep this away from them. Creating kitchen units, connecting a washing machine, renovating floorboards, building a barbecue… your home will be unrecognisable. Full of great instructions and excellent tips, this manual is terrific value. –Lorna V

Customer Review: Idoits guide
This is a simple book for people with little to no knowalge of building practasices. P>With tips that go along the lines of use fibre glass insulation to insulate cavity walls he outlines what should be common sence All I am saying is that if you don’t expect much then you wont be dissapointed.
Customer Review: Confidence builder
You need to know what you want, before you buy this book. This book is not a DIY manual. Its doesn’t pretend to be and it doesn’t weigh enough! This book is a DIY guide - it covers the most common issues. If you do buy this book, you may in due course decide you want a full manual. I find myself using DIY Survival for an overview, and then going to my manual for more detailed guidance. A good DIY manual is ultimately essential, but they are daunting. As a toe in the water, that is still very useful, this book is ideal. Clearly that was the intention, but it is not easy to achieve. The challenge is to cover enough circumstances to be useful, and enough detail to be helpful, without turning the book into a dull, incomprehensible manual. So, that is what this book is. How does it perform? In short, extremely well. Navigation is straight forward, there are lots of pictures, and Tommy’s own anecdotes and tips. The writing style is jaunty and conversational. All in all it gives sensible advice. It has only 140 pages to play with, but does seem to pack in all the basics, and plenty of the more complicated tasks. For example, we have “Mending a fuse and fitting a plug”, “Fixing ceramic floor tiles”, “Replacing panes of glass”, and “Building a barbecue”. As mentioned previously I use this book alongside a manual (I would specifically recommend the Collins Complete DIY Manual), but this book does stand up on its own. DIY is all about confidence and DIY Survival will help you to gain some.
