    5.0 out of 5 stars The best book in 2 volumes in the world @ building & renovating houses
    Reviewed in India on 23 April 2020
    This book in 2 volumes is everything @ building & renovating houses. No other book in the world can explain like this book
    in 2 volumes.
    But one thing I've not understood why the author has written another book with the title build & renovate your home which is almost same as this book in 2 volumes; hardly any difference.
