Very similar at first sight to the Reader's Digest Complete DIY Manual, published around the same time; but, the Jackson & Day edition approaches the same subject matter in a subtly different way. Whereas the Reader's Digest book uses mostly photographs, giving their DIY Manual a glossy 'magazine' style step-by-step feel; the Collins book goes to the trouble of illustrating the same steps with Magic Marker style drawings and a far more 'scientific' feel throught; with far greater emphasis on planning with tutorials on choosing colours and tones, textures and manipulating space. They also utilise a colour coded index system on the leaf edge margin of each page making quick access to the information you need in a hurry quick and easy - handy if you are looking for how to fix a burst pipe in a panic!
