With a printed DIY manual it's often like the Haynes manuals for car

With a decent Youtube video, especially from a professional or company
demonstrating the a product, you get real world instructions. Obviously
common sense must be applied to weed out the crap and to realise that
perfectly vertical walls, 90 degree corners and level ceilings shown in
demonstrations usually don't exist in older properties.
