This an American version and irrelevant in most part for the UK

This book is as advertised, however I would recommend a more extensive book like Collins Complete DIY Manual.

Authors American and seems orientated to American homes, eg cleaning products refer to borax which is not available in UK.
I was looking for a DIY book which this is NOT. Perhaps my error but even considering that I think its not really for a uk audience.

I thought this would be a good source of hints & tips and although I’ll keep it as a generic source for ‘have you thought about…’ there are better guides around. It should have been absolutely clear, but then again I guess I was the dummy for buying it in the first place without fully checking.
