Those who maintain their own homes--hobbyists, professional handypersons, and even reference librarians--will find here a marvelous collection of techniques, tables of data, and formulas relating to wood finishing and preservation, paints and painting, metal finishing and plating, concrete and mortar, adhesives, and estimating building materials. There are over 90 pages of calculations, conversions, many home and workshop measurements, math, and chemical rules. Arranged by broad topics such as "wood," this has a lot of data in easy-to-use tables and a good index, but, unfortunately, no illustrations. This is an abridged edition of Robert Scharff's 1979 revision of Swezey's 1969 Formulas, Methods, Tips, and Data for Home and Workshop (o.p.). Recommended.
