When I was a first-time homeowner, books like these were a godsend. The detailed illustrations of plumbing and electrical systems, or how to add insulation or fix a door lock, helped me understand how everything worked together. And the internet is no substitute for the progressive way a book can explain soil types and seasons. While these books are older, the basic information about how a plant grows or how a toilet vent works is still the same. Makes a great housewarming gift!
