Editorial Reviews

Home buyers with the time and the talent to make an older home completely livable all by themselves may find this book that emphasizes getting the best result for one's money and effort mighty helpful. Chapters on inspecting a structure for renovation potential precede sections on all manner of repair and remodeling, and no detail seems too small to escape notice. An excellent chapter on recycling what the renovator cannot use and chapters on outbuildings and landscaping are especially rewarding. Dworin's enjoyable discussion of Victorian architecture (a catchphrase for many architectural styles) enables better understanding of his later discussions of Craftsman and Prairie-style homes. Consider this book a boon to contractors and home owners alike. Mike Tribby
