i am new to handy man tool. the first book i got was tools and techniques for ten dollors. yesterday i got the second book landscape structures and decks. the first was ten and why is the second book 24.99 plus 4.99 for shipping, 29.98 total. i don't mind paying for the shipping but the price jump for the book is way to much. why is this. i am sending the book back and not buying any more if they all will be like this.

That's because it is their introductory offer. $24.99 is the regular price and books will keep arriving until you tell them you don't want anymore.

i just called and stop the books from being sent to me. he offerd a 10 dollor discount on the books but, even that is too much for me and my budget.

like i have stated before...check ebay and amazon...i own tons of books from HCOA and paid no more then 5 bucks a book...ebay and amazon are great sources for these books...also check craigslist...sometimes u can even get lucky on there to. and welcome to the club

I agree you can find them a lot cheaper. Personally, I have my own library of books that I selected as I progressed in my DIY and woodworking projects. They don't all look alike, but they all provide a world of information. Your local library is also a great place to find what you need, and the price is less that the price of one Handy book.
