A MUST for anyone studying Level 2 Plumbing - By: CCC, 16 Jul 2008 
I am on an intense plumbing course & was struggling to read though paragraphs of text from other books. I'm so glad I found this book. Plumbing, being a practical subject, isn't always easy to followin written form, but they have really broken the subject down. They use lots of bullet points (instead of just paragraphs) which make it easier to visualise & follow; larger type, which I find makes it easier & quicker to read; clear headings, so you are able to find the topic you want quickly; as well as lots of pictures, diagrams, tables, etc.
Plumbing NVQ & Technical Certificate: Level 2 by JTL also cuts out a lot of unnecessary waffle, but if you don't feel you have gone into somethingin enough depth then you can always refer back to the (yawn) Trelor and/or Blower's books.
If you are a practical person (I presume you are otherwise you wouldn't be studying plumbing, haha) & learnin a practical way, then this book should really help you.
Plumbing - By: Mr. B. N. Scott, 02 Oct 2007 
Best book for level 2 & general plumbing practices. Simple to use & good clear diagramsin colour(most others are monochrome & look like a child has drawn them).
Close but no cigar - By: Paul H, 24 Apr 2007 
We work closely with JTL & are the quality Trade Skills Centrein York who train plumbing NVQs (not useless short courses).
Not wishing to detract from other reviews we would like to add that although this book is very well presented, it is littered with grammatical & sometimes theoretical mistakes.
We used it as a text book for one course before its quality became an issue & the students requested a different text book written to City & Guilds standards.
Great Course Book 5 out of 5! - By: J. W. Booth, 22 May 2006 
We use this book because of its simplicity & clarity here at PPL Plumbing Trainingin York. Our students come from a wide range of educational backgrounds & having a good quality course book really makes the difference. The book has easy to follow diagrams, clear & concise explanations & self test pages which are invaluable - five out of five!
LIFE SAVER - By: , 02 Oct 2005 
I cannot rate this book highly enough. I am on my second year of the City & Guilds Basic Plumbing Skills Level 2 & this book by John Thompson has brought the subject to life.
It is easy to read & has the most wonderful diagrams & photographs that the Treloar & Blowers books recommended on the course cannot compete with.
Simply Superb !!!!!!!
