Summary: Very necessary if you're a beginner drywaller.
Review: I had never even watched any drywalling before I plunged headlong into remodeling a room in my home. I read through this book, went by Mr. Ferguson's step-by-step advice, and ended up with a job that I am quite proud of. My only regret is that I chose not to texture. I painted the finished walls with a semi-gloss paint, and if the light is right, you can see some of my sanding marks. This year I removed a door and patched the hole with drywall. His instructions were invaluable, and yes, I textured this time. It looks great. Thank you Mr. Ferguson!

Summary: Great writing and pictures - very helpful
Review: It is funny to lavish such high praise on a book about drywalling, but it deserves it. This book helped me (a novice) get the confidence to hang, tape and finish like a novice. The in depth descriptions and opinions from an experienced professional helped me get the right tools and make the right decisions.

Summary: Outstanding!!!!!!!
Review: This was my first time drywalling. Mr Ferguson's book was invaluabe to me having a sucessful project. After having water damage from a broken pipe to my finished basement, I got estimates from contractors... Determined not to pay those rates I forged ahead on my own completing the project for a fraction of the estimates. With Mr. Ferguson's step-by-step advice, I ended up with a job that has professional quality. Ferguson gives you everything you need from the choice of proper tools to using screws over nails to how to make repairs. Simply Outstanding! Thanks Mr. Ferguson!
