provides a wealth of information for both the novice and avid DIYer.... The first thing I noticed when thumbing through this book is the quantity and quality of photos and illustrations. They're superb quality, and go a long way to amplifying the text......... If you've even thought you might want to undertake a few plumbing projects around the home or cottage, this is the go-to book.
