 Complete Guide to Home Plumbing November 30, 2006

If you are looking for pretty pictures this is the book to buy. It is not a book for doing plumbing. Be careful before you follow the instructions, it is not adquate for detail plumbing. It just gives you the basics. For example it does not give you the required distances for most plumbing fixtures and shows notching many wood studs in the wall which could cause serious damage to the structure. Be Aware!!
 DIY, simply the best November 25, 2006
Clear illustrations, many cutaways, and clear, concise language mark this edition of "The Complete Guide to Home Plumbing" as one of the best ever. I previewed eight or ten newer plumbing editions at my local library before purchasing, and this one stood heads above the rest. I fully recommend it.
Good book, good price. October 11, 2006

I purchased this book off amazon for ~ $15. After reading the sections on planning, tools & materials, working with pvc pipe, and installing a kitchen drain I had learned enough / was confident enough to purchase all the (correct) parts I needed from the local hardware store. Then I deinstalled our lousy food disposer (which I no longer wanted) and installed a new sink strainer and pvc drain pipes in its stead. I can only speculate as to how much money I saved; as the going rate around here for a plumber is $85/hr I'd imagine I saved at least that amount, but probably more. Good investment if you're patient, a little bit handy, and can follow instructions.
 Well done. Well illustrated. September 16, 2006

Gives a great overview and dives into specifics using pictures and drawings that are very helpful. I held back one star because it did not cover wells and pumps as detailed as I would have liked.
Only other improvement would be to print on waterproof paper. :-)
Clear and concise! June 9, 2006

An EXCELLENT primer for the basics of home plumbing, but maybe a little difficult for someone with absolutely NO trade experience. The projects in the book are superbly explained and illustrated, but I wonder if I would have enjoyed it as much if I weren't already a journeyman carpenter.
