For many of us, a picture is not just worth a thousand words—it's essential! Repair manuals can be difficult to understand if they're cluttered up with complex jargon and fraught with confusing, incomplete explanations. Having the visual aid of photographs and illustrations can make concepts more clear and directions easier to grasp. Home Decorating, Repairs and Maintenance: A Complete Practical Guide to Home Improvement with 800 Photographs is an upcoming home repair book that's chock full of high quality color photographs so that the book doesn't just tell, but shows how each repair is done.

Authored by John McGowan and a part of the Do-It-Yourself line published by Anness, the book is scheduled for release this March, 2012. Printed in paperback, the 264-page manual is handy and convenient to use, and it's not too fancy or expensive that you have to feel bad if it gets a little beat up in the course of all your repair work!

The book explores many elements of home decorating, repair, and maintenance, and although it's perfect for the beginning do-it-yourself repair hobbyist, even experienced handymen will find something to gain in this useful and practical book. The photos are brilliant and the text is very easy to follow, allowing readers to gain a new understanding of essential home repair and decorating techniques.

Whether you're looking to save some money by doing a house repair yourself, or you simply want to increase your decorating savvy, Home Decorating, Repairs and Maintenance is a tremendous value.
