THE COMPLETE IDIOT'S GUIDE TO BUYING AND SELLING A HOME

As this splendid guide unfolds, it's fun to realize how smoothly it's been crafted. The ideas are easily comprehensible, making sense at even a visceral level. The program covers a lot of ground but comes across like an articulate neighbor talking over the backyard fence. As always, Grover Gardner is an excellent interpreter of this kind of material, which could sound dry and mechanical without his vocal pizzazz and nuanced intelligence. Like many Idiot's Guides, this one is technically comprehensive and clear, yet personal enough to speak to the emotional sensitivities most listeners will have when buying and selling a primary residence.
