I used this when getting into the automotive field and it was a great introduction book and reference guide. Interesting enough that the average reader would find the info really in-depth. Recommended.

This is an overpriced textbook poorly put together with mediocre 2 colors and darkish invisible black and white pictures. I would look for other easier and much more fun to read full color textbook, and at cheaper price.
