Reviews
Obviously, since this book is printed by Benjamin Moore Paints, there will be a certain amount of self-advertising following it's advice on choosing the proper paints and equipment (like the recipies on the back of soup cans).However, this book was a good primer (pardon the pun) for anyone who is compentant enough to paint the insides of a house, and is just starting to tackle the outside of their home.I found it chock full of useful advice, but lacking in enough procedural details to be called a "step-by-step" guide.It'll say things like "Strip and sand the exterior trim before priming" and I'll say things like "HOW?!?"
