The handiest book repair guide ever!,
I’m amazed that someone found this book “useless.” As a professional bookseller I keep my copy in the top drawer of my repair table (along with my essential book repair supplies) while other books on the subject sit on a shelf. THIS book gives all the info you need for simple cleanups and repairs with clear, uncomplicated instructions, including some that are NOT in the academic repair manuals. The author also sells a full line of repair products, which are also right there in the drawers. I can’t say how many hundreds of dollars this books has saved me, both in money saved from hiring professional services for small jobs, and in the added value to books that I have cleaned and repaired following these guidelines. Kudos to the author, and deep gratitude! Lee Kirk, The Prints & The Paper (bookseller)

|Best How To Repair Book Guide,
I keep this how-to book with my box of book repair supplies, which this book and earlier guidelines by the author helped me to compile, many from the author’s own website at very reasonable prices.
I am a college professor so the books I can afford to collect are often not in the best of condition, and although I am considered a person who knows how to repair many different kinds of things, I am no book repair expert. With the simple, step-by-step instructions I have returned many books to good useable and even gift-giving condition.
I read the negative review by M. Diamond and was amazed at how she could come to her conclusions about the usefulness of the book. So, I decided to review Diamonds other reviews. One of her other negative book reviews starts with, “First, let me acknowledge that I haven’t actually read this book.” I don’t think the value of her reviews needs further consideration.

|Easy to use & very practical,
A very useful “how to” with step-by-step directions for a wide range of book cleaning jobs and small repairs. This manual is great for finding solutions for specific problems in order to improve the appearance and overall condition of books. I owned the last edition (“Unbound”) and bought this one too as the author had greatly expanded it. It is the kind of book you flip through whenever you are stumped — it proves that it really is possible to take a worn or dirty book and make it look (and work) much better, primarily with supplies you have on hand or can easily obtain. The author clearly has a lot of practical experience and I have been very pleased with the directions provided and the results.
I own a number of books on repair and binding, but most of these are directed either at librarians (who seem to put tape on everything) or professional conservators. I think this book fills an important niche – for collectors or sellers who don’t have the time or expertise to do extensive repairs — particularly when a book is not of enough value to warrant such treatment — but who also don’t want to do anything that might damage a book or decrease its value. Book Repair for Booksellers proves that there are lots of small, safe & relatively quick things you can do that can both brighten up and better preserve a cherished book or make one more presentable to buyers.

|Terrific book! Everyone should have one!,
Everyone should get the repair manual for their car from Haynes or Chilton. These are great books that provide very detailed information for you to make most repairs.
I firmly believe it’s a good idea to use this as a reference to at least learn to do basic maintenance. This book will end up saving you a lot of money and it will ensure that your car lasts for a long time. For the more experienced do-it-yourselfer, you already know what a great book this is for auto repair, so there’s no need to convince you.
If not to do your own repair work, consider this to help you understand your car and better communicate with your mechanic.

|A little too general because it covers too many models.,
We have other Haynes repair manuals and they are better than this one. This one covers too many models. We bought this because we wanted specific instructions on how to replace a part and this particular manual gave very general instructions. The other Haynes manuals have not been like this so we have been disappointed with this one. I would recommend going with another brand that is a little more specific to your model vehicle.

|Good. But don’t buy both Chilton and Haynes,
This manual has been helpful in the short time that I’ve had it. It doesn’t have quite everything that I was hoping for, but it does have most of what I need and I’m glad to have it. I’m sure that I will use it on many occasions. Just a friendly note: Don’t buy the Chilton manual AND the Haynes manual. They are both written and published by the same people and the manuals are almost, if not exactly, identical. I purchased both thinking that I might find that one had information the other did not. I was wrong and just wasted the money on the second book. Get one and you’ll be happy.
