Put down the blow torch and come to the Magazines and Newspapers Center at the San Francisco Main Library! Along with trade magazines for the construction industry such as Construction Specifier, Construction Equipment Distribution, Construction Equipment, and others, we also have magazines to help the weekend warrior, the do-it-yourselfer, and the head of the household handyman.
Here are a few titles from our collection:
JLC: the Journal of Light Construction - The articles are detailed, and the magazine has lots of helpful step-by-step pictures. The Magazines and Newspapers Center has copies dating back to 1994.
This Old House - This magazine provides good information and detailed diagrams if you are working with interiors. The Magazines and Newspapers Center has copies dating back to 1995.

what about those of us who home improve via gardens - home, deck, street, community, etc - what kind of titles would you all suggest?
For some more ideas and how-to instruction on home gardening, exterior design, landscape gardening, and residential building and remodeling, you might wish to check out some of these magazines:
Better Homes and Gardens
