Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Maybe a little bit too dumbed down for someone who can do basic plumbing things around the house, but fantastic if you’re utterly hopeless. I see this being ideal for a college student or a young adult just striking out on one’s own.

⭐Yes lol

⭐Book arrived today. I wanted this to learn how to repair leaky faucet handles and it does not contain that fairly basic information. This is a very slim book of limited utility. I will say the pictures for the repairs that are detailed are very good. However, this is a poorly produced and rather unprofessional offering, that is actually full of formatting errors, like incorrect headers on pages. Which doesn’t inspire confidence in their advice!At least it is cheap. I will probably be donating it to the corner charity shop later this afternoon.

⭐Entirely too basic.

⭐I ordered this book for my husband and myself as a reference book. We live in a house over fifty years old with three bathrooms all in various stages of time-worn decrepancy. Not being gifted as plumbers, our efforts at repair are accompanied by tears and prayers, so this book was a godsend!

⭐I have bought this book to learn how to fix a leak in my bathroom faucet. It clearly explains step-by-step on how to fix it. All different kinds of faucets are convered in detail with clear pictures. Great value for the money.

⭐VERY HELPFUL

⭐Great book for a close friend who has had numerous plumbing issues. Bought as a joke.
