Working Windows: A Guide To The Repair & Restoration Of Wood Windows (3rd Ed)

Properly installed wood windows are beautiful and functional, but their restoration can be challenging. Let Terry Meaney, aka Mr. Window, guide you through the repair and refinishing of every part of an old window, from weather stripping, pulleys, sashes, hopper vents and casings to old hinges, paint and glass.

His book is deeply knowledgeable, comprehensive and surprisingly fun.
