This book has a lot of good information in it. Probably the best drywall book I have read. Great for someone wanting to learn how to drywall without much experience. If you have experience maybe not much in here for you. The little tips and tricks aren't really included. But the groundwork is layed very well.
Excellent Reference

This book has everything to get you started. Great introduction, excellent section divisions, nice photos, details and pro-tips. This book will get you through all of the phases of drywalling. Personally, I leave the final finishing (i.e., top coats) up to the pros, since this aspect is the most talent intensive. I suppose with time and following the instruction, you could master all of the drywall techniques. Also, all of the other "Stanley" DIY books are great! Great price too!
