This book answered all my questions with straight-forward, easy to understand instructions and illustrations. It not only answers "how" but also answers "why". It covers every type of roofing I could think of. I'm not sure if it would offer anthing new to a professional but for a do-it-yourselfer like me it was exactly what I was looking for. In particular, I had been having a hard time finding anything online that explained the composite shingle weaving technique for valleys. This book explained and illustrated it very clearly and gave other solutions for valleys as well.
It was send to us before schedule. It was very helpfull in the roof repairing. We talked it with my friends.
Recommend this to novice handyman DIY'er contemplating doing a roof own his own.
Excellent.
