From 1951, this massive, spiral-bound Better Homes and Gardens Handyman’s Book. A post-war treasure, published during the U.S. housing boom after WWII. Included in the 477-page illustrated book are fix-its for both exterior and interior projects. Everything from Plumbing and Electrical repairs to using hand and power tools to how to dye an old rug and picture framing. Plus, Furniture refinishing and reupholstering furniture, etc. The pages, text and illustrations are in excellent Mid-Century condition – clean, bright, unmarked and unstained. The bright tomato red & gold hardcover is also very good, with the exception of a faded white paint or chalk mark.This is not only a great guide for repairing Mid-Century furniture, but also an extremely attractive decor accessory. This over-sized book will be carefully packed and sent with tracking.
