This was a fun, helpful book. The amount of information in each section was just right and the author had a great sense of humor. I have not painted much, but this helped me gather the right materials and buy the best kind of paint. This book covers all types of subjects from cars, bikes, and computers to moving, painting and which tools should be in your toolbox.
