The author upfront says he believes the primary purpose of the garage is to work on cars, with other things to consider. If you want some very good ideas on how to set up your garage to do car work, mechanic, restoring, then I think you would like this book for you.

This is a great resource. I had been searching for a good bok to help me outfit my garage into a race shop. Most of the books out there on this category are more feng shui and organized oriented (not really what I was looking for). This books helps with overall layout, equipment reccomendations, and useful weblinks to help with your project. It even has some cool garage projects as well. Definitely worth buying and keeping!

This book is designed for people who truly appreciate the garage--enthusiasts who love cars, motorcycles, and other cool stuff that resides in garages. If you want to know how to plumb a compressed air system into your garage, this book is for you. If you want to convert your garage into a cute office or scrapbooking nook, look elsewhere.
