The Little Know-How Book by Bob Scher
Scher explains with humor and clarity how to perform more than 70 of life's basic skills from advice on how to water houseplants, program your VCR, and tie your shoes so they won't come undone, to more serious advice on how to change a tire, build a fire, and jumpstart a car, among others. Includes illustrations, instructions, and general how-to laws.
