People tend to love how-to-books. You can get all kinds of books on gardening, golfing, marketing, carpeting and what have you.

We tend to like simple explanation on how to fix everything. People show me apps on their iPhones that make them able to monitor their sleep quality during the night, the best prices in the stores and so on.
