Collins Complete DIY Manual has sold over 3 million copies and is the most comprehensive and authoritative DIY manual ever produced. For novices, DIY enthusiasts or professionals, this essential book continues to be the most in-depth, up-to-date and user-friendly DIY book on the market, covering everything from decorating and repairs to electricity, plumbing and much more. This fully updated version features an even more accessible design to help you navigate easily through the info, and thousands of new photographs and illustrations to make sure you get your job done quickly and safely. There have been many changes to regulations in recent years, particularly in electricity (the new Part P legislation and changes to cable colours) - the Manual not only lists but also clearly explains these new regs and helps you work with them. And as we all become much more conscious of the environmental impact our homes have, new material on energy-saving DIY is essential reading for any householder - saving you money too in the process.… (més)
Very similar at first sight to the Reader's Digest Complete DIY Manual, published around the same time; but, the Jackson & Day edition approaches the same subject matter in a subtly different way. Whereas the Reader's Digest book uses mostly photographs, giving their DIY Manual a glossy 'magazine' style step-by-step feel; the Collins book goes to the trouble of illustrating the same steps with Magic Marker style drawings and a far more 'scientific' feel throught; with far greater emphasis on planning with tutorials on choosing colours and tones, textures and manipulating space. They also utilise a colour coded index system on the leaf edge margin of each page making quick access to the information you need in a hurry quick and easy - handy if you are looking for how to fix a burst pipe in a panic!
