Lot of 5 DIY Cleaning and Gardening Books

Updated September 10, 2026

Five reference books covering home repair, cleaning and the garden. (1) Reader's Digest Complete Do-It-Yourself Manual, 1973 hardcover in bright yellow boards, still one of the most useful single volume home repair books ever published and a staple on workshop shelves. (2) Black and Decker The Complete Guide to Painting and Decorating, Creative Publishing international, 1999 paperback. (3) The Cleaning Encyclopedia by Don Aslett, Dell trade paperback, 1993 printing rather than the 1983 date given in the original consignor listing. (4) Consumer Reports How to Clean Practically Anything, sixth edition, November 2006 paperback. (5) Perennials for Dummies, IDG Books Worldwide, copyright 1997 rather than the 2001 date in the consignor listing. Text blocks are clean and complete in the photos with no loose pages; the paperbacks show cover creasing, edge rubbing and bumped corners, and the hardcover shows light shelf wear. Condition is good. Sold as-is. Photos are the most accurate description of this lot. Written descriptions are a guide only and may contain errors. Please review all photos before bidding.
