Summary: Excellent book
Review: Go ahead, take a tour of my house. You will be able to tell which walls I did before I bought this book and which ones were done professionally after I bought it. No question, if you are a mud-smearing homeowner like me and can't stand to pay someone to do it right, this book will help. You still have to pay attention and do it just like he says. I'm very satisfied and can't stand it when people borrow my copy so they can see how to do drywall like me.

Summary: Simply the best drywall book I have found so far...
Review: I've had this book for some time now and have been doing various drywall projects around the house, including crack repair, patches and even replacing a full panel. I found that by following the instructions in this book, and by taking great care to work neatly, all of my repairs are invisible. There is no way I could have done it so well without the help of Mr. Ferguson's book.I have a handful of drywall books but this one comes out tops and therefore I highly recommend it.

Summary: An OK book
Review: This book is OK for a beginner. In his book, the author advises using a setting-type joint compound. In addition, he does not use a banjo for setting his tape. ALMOST everyone else in the world uses a banjo or other mechanical device with all-purpose joint compound for embedding the first layer of tape. It works fine and is far, far less time consuming.
This book is not as complete as others that are out there. There is a good deal about drywall installation and finishing that are not included.
