3.0 out of 5 stars This is not a technical manual., September 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: 1001 Hi Perfom Hp1199 (Paperback)

If you are looking for a how to manual, this is not it. It is ,however, a very good source of ideas. It really does have 1001 tips. Some are very extravagent, and some are simple adjustments. But it is just a starting point. It leaves you to fill in the rest.

5.0 out of 5 stars What I wanted, December 2, 2002

"lvis35" (Las Vegas, NV United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 1001 Hi Perfom Hp1199 (Paperback)

What this book isn't--An indexed, how-to book along the lines of Chilton, etc. What it is--a fun, snippet of ideas, that you can open a page to and get an idea and read in 3 minutes or less. Sometimes you don't want (or need) to read entire chapters on this or that...this book fits the bill. I would recommend it for that. If you want Chilton's (or Haynes, etc.) it's out there.
