Library Journal Review: Starred Review. The more you understand how your home works, the easier it becomes to handle simple problems without paying a lot of money for repair. With this premise, Wing, author of many books on home repair and maintenance, teaches the basics of home systems and appliances. Providing clean and detailed diagrams, Wing describes the purpose and function of that system or fixture. Also accompanying each is a list of tips to use before you call in a professional. This book is more a "how" than a "how-to" and fills its role quite nicely. Highly recommended for all collections. Copyright ? Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
