It is the best Drywall book
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

I have 4 other books on drywall but this is the best. I highly recommend it.

There's a better book. . .
Customer Rating:  Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2

I bought this book based on the reviews that I've read on here. I tried finding a copy at the local book store so I could flip through it before buying but no one in town carried the book.

I agree with the one other reviewer that the book is absolutely hard to read because the text in each section is cut up. I find myself flipping back and forth due to the horrible organization in this book. In addition, there is also some lack of visual information to accompany the text which makes reading it even harder. For example, on page 79 which covers the "Floating Corners Technique", the author failed to provide a graphic for the ceiling fastener placement and instead just showed the wall fastener placement. He only wrote about the ceiling fastener placement in text. It would have been a lot more convenient to just provide a graphic on the fastener placement spacing in a graphical manner.

Don't get me wrong, there are good information in this book, however the presentation of the information is horrible. There's a better book out there which I read a little online through Google: [...]. It's called Ultimate Guide to Drywall: Pro Tips for Hanging and Finishing. ISBN #1580112706. There are some missing pages in the online version.

Well this Ferguson book will probably collect dust on my shelf now while I'm off to purchase the other book mentioned above. Supposed I should have just purchased the other book strictly just based on its title (Ultimate Guide to Drywall) and not expect this Ferguson book to be the ultimate reference for drywall techniques.

Good luck to the rest of you!

Great Tips and Hints
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

I have another drywall book for reference and comparison. This book has excellent examples of pictures for reference as well as other tips for working mud and finishing. Although I've been working on a never-ending remodeling project for 13 years, I've still been able to pick up on something new. I would recommend this book for any beginner as well as those who are more experienced.

ok book
Customer Rating:  Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3

This is a fairly good book, goes over all the principals of drywall. Gave most of the info you needed. Could have used some more and better photos for mudding.

Amazing
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

I have this book and I have also seen his DVD (got it from the library) on the same subject. He is amazing. He makes this work look so easy and simple but he also explains it in terms that anyone can understand. He has the skill to do the job but he also shares the little tips and tricks that you only learn from years of experience.

If you have a drywall project in your future either get the book or watch the DVD first. I watched the DVD a couple of times then I got the book as a reference. I made a some mistakes in my project but I was able to fix all of them and turn out a professional looking job thanks to the tips from this book.
