Pretty but Limited
Although the book is filled with very nice and informative pictures, it is nevertheless quite limited. I needed to relocate a toilet in a renovation project. Advanced enough, right? Well this book was useless. There was no information on venting requirments. If you like learning-by-example, this book may be for you, but only if the examples match what you need to do.

Buy "The Complete Guide" instead
Buy "The Complete Guide to Home Plumbing" instead of this book. The latter was published a year later and contains the exact information (down to the photos) as this book but has so much more. I don't understand why Creative Publishing continues to release this.
