How to Fix Damn Near Everything
How to Fix Damn Near Everything" is an invaluable manual that will free you from the high price of home repairs, shoddy workmanship, and repairmen who don't arrive at their specified time. Franklin Peterson takes the mystery out of fixing kitchen appliances, motorized gadgets, power tools, camera equipment, radios, plumbing, furniture, and much more. His key to successful do-it-yourself repairs is not a degree from an engineering school but rather a positive state of mind--something everyone can achieve.

The title of this book is totally misleading. There's lots of information in there, all right, but when you actually have a busted appliance or something and you try to look it up, there's nothing to be found in there. If you don't believe me, look up how it tells you to fix your garbage disposal. It's also not for people who aren't mechanically inclined; he never tells you how to get an appliance open without breaking it, and he assumed you'll know what he means when he says "find the universal joint and disconnect it from the flywheel..." Wait, what!?

Well, I ordered this book as a teen-ager, thinking I would learn how to fix things. But I haven't been able to read it, and mostly I leave it on the shelf because I like the shock effect of the title. I'll probably throw it away in the coming years.
