1: great for first time home buyers
this is a nice, solid little book - its really quite interesting and informative - presented in a clear way. The illustrations are very helpful - this seems like it would be a good foundation book to have if you are a new home buyer especially.

2: Excellent book, but could use follow up
Describing how how the high tech parts of a microwave,flouroscent light,and detectors work. Before repairs; it excellent, except, for p. 122 vacuum cleaners- before calling for help - also, motor filter can be clogged. It's similiar to a plastic scrubbber under the dust container. It can be cleaned by washing it under water. Located below bagging area when the motor intacts air. Rainbow Home Inspection Co. Inman, South Carolina

3: Amazing book
My husband and I are not really handy around the house, so we purchased this book so we could get to know our home better. We were not disappointed. The diagrams are wonderfully clear and the tips for things to try before calling a professional are wonderful. We have already used the book several times to fix things around the house. The book has paid for itself ten-fold.

4: Great confidence builder! Great resource! Great gift!
I originally checked this book out of the library; I was quite impressed with the clearly labeled drawings, the How It Works section and the Before You Call For Help sections. I then checked out the ratings by reviewers on [...]. Then I purchased several as gifts; all of them were well received. I think that this book is a great resource and confidence builder for any individual who wants to know more about the plumbing, wiring, heating/cooling, ventilation, appliances, windows/doors &/or foundation of one's dwelling. It is very visual and it is presented in clear, easy-to-understand, brief language for the layman. Yet Mr. Wing also writes for professionals in these fields. A highly recommended resource!

5: very usable reference
I'm a book geek, a connoisseur of ideas. And i'm not one of those book geeks who is also very practical or handy about the house or with home repair. This book includes a visual dictionary (label + illustration)along with its plain explanations. I'm glad I bought it.
