Got for my brother in law who has very little grasp of anything practical. He’s virtually not put this down since he got it and has already tried a couple of small projects. Very easy to understand the instructions. Fabulous

This was a great purchase for lockdown for my teenager- he’s had a great time trying it all ! Easy read and decent size and well worth the money

I know its titled “For dummies” but usually these books are quite in depth and the ones I’ve previously used have been very helpful. This one however really is for complete beginners its is ridiculously vague and the majority of advice in the book is “You should leave this to a proffesional”
