Pros
* Content. I've been a homeowner for almost six years and this book included everything I've learned by necessity in that time and then some.
* Layout. The book's table of contents was so-so but the actual content and Index were well-organized and easy to read straight through as well as go back and spot pick certain topics. Also, sections had color-coded markers.

* This book did not offer much in the way of actual how-to instructions. It was mostly overview and brief instructions.
