For do it yourself people!
I mostly got this book for ideas and it does have a few pictures here and there. Itโs got very detailed instructions for how to do plumbing, electric etc. So if youโre looking for that itโs good. But not for ideas so much.

Good for remodels, short on advice for day to day repairs
When I got and read this book, I was hoping for, as the title suggests, something a bit more "complete." By that I mean to say, this is a very good book if you're looking to remodel your bathroom. It's full of wonderful ideas and step by step instructions for large remodeling projects. But it doesn't much (or in fact any) information on simple day to day repairs, so I don't think of it as quite as complete as I was hoping for. That's not to say you need to plan a full remodel to get use out of this. Any time you're looking to replace one of the major bathroom fixtures, it has some good information for you, and for those projects, it's an extremely useful reference, and one I'll be glad to have in my library whenever those kinds of repairs come up. But think of something like replacing a faucet as the dividing line. Any repair less intensive than that isn't covered at all. The book is focused on replacements rather than repairs. To its credit, the illustrations are clear and informative, and it's fascinating to read about some of the different options available, so those of you thinking about new bathroom plans will find a lot to think about in these pages. I would caution, though, that many of these projects are substantial enough that, even with the book's advice in hand, beginners might want to hire a professional before tackling some of these projects. The book does a very good job of telling you what to do, but there's a lot of room for error, particularly when you're talking about plumbing projects, and the book seems to assume a certain degree of expertise or experience when offering its instructions.
