FREE STUFF FOR HOME REPAIR ON THE INTERNET is the latest and... for the home repair buff... perhaps the greatest addition to Heim & Hansen's "Free Stuff" series. The strength of this book lies in both its organization and in its great web links. They don't make the assumption that their readers are computer geeks, so the book begins with a short-but-sweet primer on how to access web pages, basic use of the web browser and how to understand a websites address, or "url". This alone is worth the price of the book for the befuddled neophyte... especially on sites that frequently change their page addresses!The meat of the book... home repair web links... is well organized and divided up into 22 categories, including how to hire a contractor, roof and gutter repair, do-it-yourself TV show websites and even electrical and plumbing advice.Each section covers the best of the best... no mean task considering that a web search on any home repair topic can yield millions of useless, unrelated pages!
All in all, this book is the best of the genre and will save the surfer hours of useless searching for the best in home repair.
