Complete Step-by-Step Revised Book Authors: The Stanley Company / Lipinski, Edward R. / Johnson, Dean ISBN: 0-684-87260-9 Pages: 528 Format: Hardcover Publisher: Free Press Published: November 9, 2000 Condition: Price: USD $5.99 From Library Journal: This is a wide-ranging guide to home repairs written for the homeowner with limited do-it-yourself experience. It begins with the essentials of tool selection and then provides up-to-date coverage of construction materials and hardware items. Much of the remainder of the book is divided evenly between interior and exterior projects with briefer--but still valuable--coverage accorded basic plumbing, heating, and electrical repairs. The book also touches on less commonplace topics such as steel stud construction, pressed metal ceilings, and various home security products. The reassuringly written text takes pains to identify work that is best left to the more highly skilled. The many simple color drawings make the narrative descriptions especially easy to follow. Recommended for most public libraries. - Bill Demo, Tompkins Cortland Community Coll., Dryden, N.Y.

A Woman's Guide to Home Repair Author: Webb, James / Houseman, Bart ISBN: 0-385-04515-8 Pages: 121 Format: Hardcover Publisher: Doubleday Published: 1973 Condition: Price: USD $1.69 The Home Repair Emergency Handbook Author: Schnaser, Gene ISBN: 0-88365-941-7 Pages: 192 Format: Spiral-bound Publisher: BBS Publishing Corporation Published: March 1996 Condition: Price: USD $2.29 From Library Journal: Schnaser, editor of Trade Secrets: Tips and Hints from the Pros (Rodale Pr., 1988), has written a basic but informative book detailing 118 particular home emergency situations. He provides simple instructions for the otherwise unskilled or unfamiliar homeowner in dealing with the immediate situation, and offers tips for preventing future catastrophes. While there are certainly more than 118 potentially serious situations in the home environment, the book serves as a fine discussion opener. Homeowners will be encouraged to speak with a trusted hardware dealer, a more knowledgeable friend, or a tradesperson. Suggestions are also included for basic, intermediate, and advanced tools. The index, unfortunately, suffers from a lack of direct subject access. For large public libraries. - Alex Hartmann, Bloomsburg Univ. Lib., Pa.
