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.

Only useful for absolute rookies!
I bought this book based on other people’s reviews that seemed fantastic. I am totally disappointed. Too generic and introductory material. I already knew 80% of the information in this book by browsing the internet. I was expecting to get some real practical information.
What I am saying is that you should get this book if you are just absolutely beginners. Otherwise save your bucks for something more specialized.
