[.uk] The Black & Decker Complete Guide to Roofing & Siding: ... (ISBN 1589231546)

the description wasn't truthful:
The description of the book on Amazon said the book covered single-membrane roofs. That is the reason I bought this, plus all of the favorable reviews that all the other Black & Decker Complete Guide books receive. I wanted to know how to replace single-membrane rubber roofs on flat/low-pitch roofs. Well, this book didn't do anything for that.

Half complete guide:
This is a good book to use in planning what type of roof or siding that would suit your project. Then buy a book how to work that particular roof or siding.

Helpful:
Helpful. Helps clue you in if you have never done roofing or siding work before. Won't magically turn you into a tradesperson (nothing can without on-the-job experience), but will clue you in on how stuff is done. I imagine that even people in the trade might benefit from it, if only to see variations on the way that their own company does things.

Good Holesitic View of Roofing:
This book goes over things in a big picture can of way. It is very macro not micro. If you want to know how to install something specific it would make sense to get a book only about that. If you have to fix some things wrong with your roof or siding this might be a good book. It has info for all different kinds of materials and projects. If you need an overview of roofs and siding this is a great book. You can't go wrong with the Black & Decker series. They do a great job giving you info for a wide variety of situations.
