  • Every DIYer should own one

    As someone who is keen on DIY I find this book a great companion. It covers nearly every aspect of job that you will come across around the house. It gives you a great understanding of the task at hand and a good basis of knowledge before you undertake a project, although you may occasionally need to do a little extra research online for some topics this book sets you in the right direction and gives you the confidence to get started. I would recommend anyone who wants to do a DIY job properly to own this book, it’s an essential in my opinion.

  • Collins DIY 2011 still the best

    I had a copy of Collins DIY from around 1988 and it is the definitive reference for home and garden DIY. I was glad to see that the 2011 edition I bought for my enthusiastic but inexperienced neighbour was just as good. Whilst it has many updates, it has all of the essential content that my older copy had. I think it was a great buy.

  • Great condition. Very informative

    Purchased as a gift for our son who has just bought his first home. So much better to have a hard copy rather than just You Tubing everything. He absolutely loved it! Thank you
