Do not buy..
..if you're interested in learning. Buy a good one instead!!

Well...
This is and excellent textbook for a automotive student or some one who wants to learn a lot in a hurry. Layout like a textbook, not very entertaining.

Glad we bought it.
I bought this for my son who was trying to solve a problem with his older Lincoln. He's a good mechanic but needed this book to lead him in the right direction. It totally solved his problem and saved him much frustration. He said it was one of the best books he's used.

Review by Aleshia
I liked the book becuase you were meeting someone new! L ike when Brogeen meets the old lady named Mary and they become really good friends! It keeps you on your toes, around every turn there is somethings new. It's a very intersting book!

I think the best part is when Brogeen finds the fiddler again after all he had been trough, and hears him play a song and realizes that he really does hve a tune and does not worrie any more!

I liked how there were always new people,everything wasen't the same thing over an over again,it was really good in that way! Every time there is a new chapter there in a new person to get to know! The theme of the book was really good and it stayed on one topic the whole time,it was always tied into how Brogeen was trying to find the fiddler to see if he really did have a tune,well it turns out that he did have a tune.

divorce through a child's eyes
When Eileen's father moves out (taking the piano with him) she she struggles through shock and grief which she cannot express or share with anyone -- not even her best friend. Her only mode of expression is in her piano lessons (which she must now practice at school). Through these practice sessions she eventually becomes friends with the kindly janitor who helps her come to grips with her struggles and her pain.

This is a thoughtful story exploring the ache and confusion that divorce brings. Eileen's bewilderment and inner rage is believable but even with that, the story is lacking something. Still it's a good novel to give to a child going through a parent's divorce.

Not enough early Bronco info
This is the second repair manual that I purchased that covers the '66 to '77 Bronco, as well as others. The first was the Haynes Pick-ups & Broncos 1973 thru 1979, and I can say without a doubt that the Chiltons manual is far superior. However, it still tends to concentrate on the '78 and later Broncos. I have a '76, and while it gives relatively detailed instructions for the later models, it usually only gives vague instructions for the early trucks, or omits them altogether. It's a handy reference, but not sufficient for more involved work or restoration. Your best bet is still the factory service manual.

Another One by Chilton...
This book is decent for basic tuning and repair but as usual, Chilton left out anything specific pertaining to any vehicles. Of course it has the spark-plug diagnostics and basic body repair techniques, as does all of thier manuals.

Not what I expected
This book did teach me a FEW things about blowers, HOWEVER it spends way to much time explaining the different types of blowers (and even a whole chapter on paxton type turbos). If you are installing a 6-71 blower like I am, and want a book that tells you number by number how to install it, this is NOT the book to buy. It doesn't contain any torque specifications for the blower, blower intake or any information of that sort. If you want to learn the history of blowers, types of blowers, and allot of advanced math solutions to blower setup, get this book. If you want to install a blower step by step, get some other book!


Encyclopedia of Celtic Tunes for Flatpicking Guitar

Rich collection of fresh arrangements
Buy this book if you are looking for a good source of new intermediate-level material to work with. The material seems to be drawn entirely from the Irish/Scottish musical tradition, with no recently-composed tunes to jar one's ear. The arrangements are clever, there are hundreds of them, and you are sure to run into catchy or haunting tunes that you will want to add to your own repertoire.

Don't buy this book if your primary interest is getting acquainted with the range of standard session tunes being played today -- there are better books for that. The author admits in the introduction that he is fairly new to playing in the Irish traditional music genre, and it shows. While the tunes included in the "reels" section of this book are in fact all reels, swept up into the section labeled "hornpipes" here are some genuine hornpipes, but also many tunes that are usually played as reels, in addition to schottisches, polkas, set dances, etc. The inclusion is similarly eclectic in the sections the author labels "waltzes" and "jigs". There is some duplication of tunes under different titles, though Kaufman seems to have done an exceptionally good job of nailing down and listing alternate tune titles in common use.

There are a certain number of misspellings and minor typographical errors (some musical) scattered throughout the book. The author seems not to be interested in dealing with the question of modal keys that are so typical of Celtic music, and simply reduces each tune to a plausible guitar key, which is fine if you are planning only to play by yourself but not so good otherwise. The major shortcoming for someone interested in the history and background of this body of music is the complete lack of attention given to this point -- nothing here but tunes, tunes, tunes. If that is what you want, go for it!

Exellent resourse for those wanting to upgrade.
Very fine treatment of the next level of performance for the Sprite/Midget. Not a tune up book for existing or original cars,but an excellent reference for aftermarket and upgrade for the car moving to the next level of performance.
