Review: Unique Home Improvement Book - I really liked this book! I've read my share of home improvement books, but this one is special, not only because of its "green" focus, but also because it tells you what these improvements cost and what they will save you. Review: Book in good condition - Book arrived well packaged and in good condition The book's content is very interesting and perhaps the problem is that unts are in Imperial System instead of International System
