This may be true in many cases but most of  us do not have training in many trades or skills needed to make, repair, create, write, paint and many more. For that reason DIY books are written. These books give anyone the abiltity to do things which ordinarily were done by highly paid professionals. In many cases they are better than hiring an expert since many go into details with which a local expert may not be familiar with. Car Repair Manuals are not included here since they are on a separate page.     < HEALTH >	1963 Care of the Adult Patient Reference and School Book $15 1963 Care of the Adult Patient Reference and School Book.
