Know-How
A Fix-It Book for the Clumsy But Pure of Heart
by Guy Alland, Miron Waskiw, and Tony Hiss
Tired of faucet drip? Fed up with falling plaster? Afraid you’ll be
electrocuted if you touch a light bulb? Now comes Know-How to the rescue of
fumblers and ten-thumbers, frustrated handymen and handywomen everywhere.
This fix-it manual, totally unlike other dry-as-dust references, explains
how something works before telling you what to do when it breaks down. The
chapters discuss tools, woodworking, heating, air conditioning, painting,
plastering, tiling, plumbing, and electricity. Sprinkled with delightful
stories and liberally dosed with clear illustrations, the discussion will
prove as entertaining as it is informative. Buy this book, you have nothing
to lose but repair bills.
