Black and Decker Complete Photo Guide to Home Repair: With 350 Projects and 2000 Photos (Black and Decker Complete Photo Guide Series) Book

The two previous editions of the book known by home improvement retailers as "Big Red" sold nearly 600,000 copies. This new edition features a larger portrait format for better visual clarity, and incorporates a new page layout style. But all the features that made the original America's best-selling "bible" of home repair are still present here - thousands of color photographs and detailed step-by-step directions.

The third edition also includes more than 30 projects not found in the original edition, as well as more than 300 new photos.

Now in its third edition, this comprehensive guide contains more photos and useful advice than ever. While Reader's Digest Complete Do-It-Yourself Manual covers more territory, this book focuses on selected home repairs, giving good instruction and larger photos to illustrate steps and techniques. Some of the projects also appear in other Black & Decker specialized titles, including Black & Decker the Complete Guide to Windows & Entryways and Black & Decker the Complete Guide to Roofing, Siding & Trim(reviewed below), so there is duplication. In all, this guide is a useful supplement to any home repair collection. Highly recommended.
