Hot Rod Pin Ups
I love this book.It shows fashion from various eras and adds the rough style of classic cars.The history is a good added bonus, but the pictures are more interesting to look at.Very colorful and exciting.

Cool cars and cool girls
Great photography,with some great babes draped over cool cars.
David Perry strikes gold with Hot Rod Pin Ups
David Perry not only gets the Hot Rod Kulture, he's part of it! and luckily, for us, he captures it on film, with mastery.

Get a clear picture
Prior to reading this book, I had visions of grandeur. I envisioned cars rolling in, dirt being washed away, and my bank account growing exponentially. After reading this book, I know these things can still happen but they require much more work than I expected. This book is very helpful in informing you about what is required of you to open a car wash. Then you can make a better evaluation before you jump into something and regret it.

Car wash book rocks!
This book is just awesome. A must read for car and business lovers.

Bland
I don't know what is up with the Entrepreneur-magazine series of books, but I've read several of them now and I've yet to be impressed with any of them. The best way to describe this book...BLAND AND FULL OF FLUFF. Most of them are apparently written by people who have NO real-world business experience. They are not recommended. ... Read more

VERY Good
Have NOT finished but I can see this is a very well thought out book.For instance, the content page contains a thumbnail to identify the car: Great idea, for quick ref. if you do not know the model name/number.The index is full, the trailers show races won in order.The details of each is large and althought I cannot vouch for all accuracy of info. the items I DID know were accurate enough.The book is small, and compact enough to keep along with you....kind of like a bird-watchers field manual.

Beetle Manual
The manual was clear and to the point. Finding information was not hard. The book had more info than I though it would.It was layed out nicely too.

Not quite what I was looking for
I must qualify that I am not a mechanic by training but enjoy doing a lot of the work in our cars. That said I found this manual disappointing in that it really does not offer any kind of help in the maintenance of the car for people with little mechanical training.By "Service Manual" I understood that there would be detailed information of how to do certain things like working on the AC components, transmission, etc, that is more that just changing your oil.It is not there!.It just gives you pictures of part by part components with little descriptions of procedures. I can get the pictures in the Internet! going to a bookstore does no good because this is one of those sealed books until you buy.I just did not like it and will sell it as soon as I can :^(

Great Purchase
Very detailed text for repairs and maintenance. Makes even the daunting task relatively easy. To have 5 stars, it should have more detailed pictures. Color would receive a 6th star. Best manual on the market. Worth it 110% ... Read more

Incomplete
I am a professional mechanic so I work on my own vehicles, to save some money over buying the repair manuals offered by Dodge I decided to purchase this manual for a rear anti-lock brake problem I'm having. When I found the correct section of the book,I thought that I had it made, the codes were there, pictures of the componets were there, great, I thought. So I began reading the text on obtaining trouble codes to isolate my vehicles problem. It tells you how to get the codes by shorting the diagnostic terminal to ground then read the codes on the ABS light on the dash, cool! Where's the connector? And which terminals at the connector once you find it!!! No pictures or descriptions of where this connector is located what it looks like or how many wires it contains. So thought I'd go to the wiring diagrams and at least find the terminal numbers or wire color codes to the ABS computer maybe that will help, NOT! All the wiring diagram shows is the feed wire from the engine computer to the ABS computer with a block that says "to ABS computer"! Not even a diagram of the ABS system! Not much help!!! And very frustrating!! BUY THE MOPAR BOOK FOR 129.00!! Thats if your going to do anything past oil changes and spark plugs!! ... Read more

A great formula one technology docuemntation.
A great work, dealing with many aspects of formula 1 technology, discussed clearly and in a comprensive way.

This book really is a must have for F1 fanatics
The book really brings many explanations about F1 technologies.

wicked
Look this is not going to show you how to build a bike but it will give you some tips, some advice and imo some more inspiration. The pics are big and glossy, and it is easy to read and understand. Sure i wanted some more info but hey maybe its better not to be shown everything.

Billy Lane's Book Rocks
This book was very informative on how Billy does his art of chopping. And was helpful in knowing how he does it and why. Also great listing of tools that are needed to pull this stuff off. I can't wait to buy his other book "Chop Ficition".Billy's book has definitely given me the drive to start chopping my own bikes. This book is a must for any bike builder pro or novice...

Chilton's Jeep CJ/Scrambler 1971-86 Repair Manual
As always, Chiltons manuals are one of the best for reference to a vehicle. They are usually on the mark for information and "how to" things. This particular manual is a little weak on the V-8 304 CID engine and I believe that there are mis-prints throughout on the numbering and figures that are drawn out. The electrical diagrams are the best there are but I think that the identifying the part that you are looking at could use a little more detail. All in all, the Chiltons repair manuals remain the best.

a good book
good for do it your self mechanic

Absolute necessity for Jeep 'Wheelers!
A very comprehensive manual. I have worked on my various Jeeps dozens of times and have found this manual to be indespensible. Based on a complete tear down and reassembly of the Jeep vehicles that are discussed. Aninvaluable resource. Although I can buy it considerably cheaper down at thelocal parts store. ... Read more

This book is exactly what I was looking.It provides an detailed overview of Lean Manufacturing, from its history to examples of implementation in US manufacturing facilities today.

BECOMING LEAN A Data Bound Argument for Lean
This is the real stuff - not academic theory but real examples of "lean" written by the people that made it happen.The concluding chapter on "what we have learned about becoming lean" pulls itall together in a neat package.This is a must read for anyone who enjoyedWomack's book on "Lean Thinking".We have applied theselearnings at this company with great results. ...

Get a Helms Manual
Get a Helms Manual....they're much more detailed!

Lacking
I purchased this book with the intention of having a thorough reference guide for my 2000 TL. I was quicklly disappointed and surprised when 95% of what I referenced was not available, or lacked so much detail that it offered no assistance at all. This book may be a gem for integra owners (most of the examples and instructions are integra focused) but TL and RL owners beware, and take a peek at it in the stores before you commit. You could be highly disappointed.

What a joy
I concur with an earlier reviewer.This book will teach you about zen--not what it is, but how to embody it, which is what matters.
The Anti-Road-Rage Manual
Such timeliness for a book first published a dozen years ago!This should be handed out in Drivers' Ed courses across the country.The premise is simple: stay aware of your surroundings, don't let expectations distract you, and enjoy the ride.Stop thinking about driving and just drive.Sound advice in all aspects of life.

Unexpectedly surprised
This book vividly achieves something it probably never intended to do: offer the simplest, clearest explanation of Zen philosophy that I've read yet. While other authors overexert themselves in hopelessly convoluted terms and impenetrable analogies to try to explain the essence of Zen to their readers, Berger lays out its meaning in understandble terms by applying the principles of Zen to something that all of us can relate to--driving. And by not even trying to exlpain Zen at all, he does a masterful job--a true example of wu-wei in action!Read more

Good stuff!
Much better than the Hayes repair manual that doesn't even show the 1995 trough 1998 models on the cover.Chilton has always been my favorite repair manual.It's a drag that they seem to be so hard to find these days at the local auto parts store.This manual covers everything from normal maintenance to engine overhaul and all that falls in between.A must-have for the do-it-yourself people at any level.

Works
Work fine, Lacks part numbers for replacement pieces and such, little odd to follow at places unless you really know your car.

Thumb up!!!
Hi!!!
Creates an excellent foundation.
An excellent book for learning about fiberglass/composites. Before reading this book, I had little knowledge about composties, but a desire to learn. The information is presented in a way that anyone can understand it. Aird educates the reader about different fiber types and weaves, resins and resin systems, gel coat, trade tools, safety, and basic lay-up. He also includes information on molds, plugs, and strength/stress -- though I feel these sections make having some hands-on knowledge of composites an asset, which I lack. It is an excellent book that can take you from knowing nothing, to a point where you can talk intelligently about composites with someone in the FRP field. As other reviews have pointed out, this is not a step by step manual; but is probably a prerequisite to actually understanding one. In conclusion: I enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning about fiberglass and composite systems.

Definitely worth the price
I had an interest in getting into Fiberglassing, so i bought this book.As most of the other people who reviewed this book said, it's not a step by step manual, but it offers a very good overview.Good enough that i ended up buying a second copy for a friend.If you have an interest, i would recommend this book.It's worth the price. ...
