I was surprised, but the public library has it all and in various levels of expertise so you can see how involved you want to be with that certain project. Really, I know this sounds obvious but it's true. I framed an additional room using the things I learned reading at the library.

I love Home Depot's "Home Improvements 1-2-3" book and the old Time Life repair books.
I don't think they still print the time life books, but the Home Depot one is about $30 and worth every penny.

In addition to all these suggestions, your local bookstores will have tons of DIY books available. Just drop by and have a field day. They'll have so many of them that you'll have a hard time deciding which one to buy.
