Safe and Sound: A Renter-Friendly Guide to Home Repair by Mercury Stardust
informative
lighthearted
medium-paced
4.5
Stardust's renter-oriented repair guide fills a much-needed niche in the repair guide genre. Her guides and tips are written in easy-to-understand, common language, and the pictures help to illustrate the parts that are difficult to understand in writing. I also think it's pretty comprehensive for a beginner guide to all things home repair, and I appreciate the section that gets into tenants' rights at the end. I also think linking to videos is good, but I have some mixed feelings about putting QR codes in books. Still not sure what I think of that aspect. Anyway, Stardust herself is a really helpful creator, and I hope the trans Handy Ma'am writes more books in this vein!
(Note: I have already tried some of this book's tips, and all of them that I've tried so far work. I've got a couple door repairs and carpet repairs that I still have to do that I am going to use this book as a reference for, so I may update later with more details on how those projects go.)
