Let's face it, most home repair books just aren't written for the average homeowner. They assume that if you're dishing out $30 for a 600-page full colour book that you're likely a male over the age of 30, you own a toolbox (and recognize everything in it), and you're more interested in replacing a toilet than unclogging one. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Simple Home Repairis the home repair book for everyone else. Rather than focus on the really big projects that most homeowners would wisely leave to professionals, it concentrates on the common repairs that everyone encounters and anyone can do-with the right instruction.
