This is a very good black & white book. It covers what it covers in considerable detail, and I enjoyed just reading some parts of it for the heck of it. It might be good to check out this book at a library, in order to be sure its your cup of tea. Generally speaking, no one book can cover all the intricacies of home improvement and construction. So it's best to try to look at the book you're thinking of buying before you purchase it. Try a bookstore or library or home inmprovement store, if possible. I have purchased the following books and found them to be very helpful to me: Encyclopedia of Home Maintenance & Repair - This is a black & white book, but has very good explanations, especially of electrical. New Complete Guide to Home Repair & Improvement (Better Homes & Gardens); Do It Yourself Home Improvement: Step by Step Guide to Home Improvement; Ultimate Guide to Home Repair & Improvement (Ultimate Guide); Popular Mechanics When Duct Tape Just Isn't Enough: Quick Fixes for Everyday Disasters (Popular Mechanics) - This is kind of a "Hints from Heloise" for the home fix'r up'r.
