I bought this book just before purchasing my first home.It provided me with the information I needed to make successful improvements to my home.Within a week after purchasing my house, I was installing new flooring, toilets, sinks, faucets, electrical outlets and switches, and light fixtures.These are things that I had NEVER done, but was able to do successfully with the help of this book.
If you do get this book, I also strongly recommend the Black & Decker Complete Guide to Home Repair as a companion.There is some overlap between the two books, but there are important pieces that are exclusive to each.Best wishes with your project!
