". . . there are at least a handful of easy home remedies here that even major fumblefingers can successfully implement. Like touching up wood furniture with unsalted pecan or walnut meats. Using a steam iron to fix indented carpeting. Freshening up a no-start lawn mower with new spark plugs. Even getting rid of driveway stains with pulverized drywall (just allow it to sit overnight). It's all thanks to the collected wisdom of Popular Mechanics , 115 years strong, synonymous with the ultimate in DIY knowledge. The book's eight sections--bathroom; kitchen; walls, ceilings, floors; furniture and fixtures; gadgets; basement and mechanicals; garage and driveway; and yard--feature different formats. 'Ask Roy' fields answers to common questions. 'Know your stuff' highlights tools, materials, and their appropriate uses, whether fillers, painter's knives, or screws. The 'essential tool' call-outs spotlight particular instruments that are critical to have on hand. And captioned, step-by-step color photographs bring clarity to specific tasks. From all of the above to battling moles to avoid lawn destruction, readers will count on Popular Mechanics' advice ." -- Booklist (starred review)

    The book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++

    Positive experience but could be better. Item description was accurate but, it was shipped in a simple bag with no carton or any protection. The bag was broken in places and the USPS bent the book like it was a newspaper and ruined what was an excellent looking book. That was clearly the USPS fault but a "Do Not Bend" or carton would help next time. Otherwise accurate description, value, condition and Fast shipping. I'm a returning customer and will keep buying from World of Books

    Worthless Book!

    This book is an embarrassment to anyone who can read! There is nothing inside that is of any help to fix anything. Reading “Dick and Jane” would provide as much information. Total Garbage, and a waste of valuable time and money!
