4.0 out of 5 stars A true must have for bus nuts!, September 4, 2006
By 
D. Knight (Salt Lake City, Utah United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Bus Converter's Bible, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
Anyone who is serious about converting a bus or is even interested should have this book in their library.
I expected a basic "how to" book that would skim over the important topics but that one would be 'Beginners Guide To Converted Coaches' by Larry Plachno which I also recommend for initial reading. When you really get more serious and want to learn about the different systems and what is involved then this book is a must and earns it's claim as a bible!
There are precious few books and useful articles on this hobby but the only reason that I didn't feel that this merited 5 stars was because some of the drawings, schematics and diagrams were a little small to really read and scrutinize. Maybe a few more pages in the book and larger diagrams next time?
Whether you are a complete novice or fairly adept, when you are getting serious about a conversion you really should start here and then move on to 'Bus Wiring for Bus Nuts' and 'Plumbing for Bus nuts' by the same author.
There are other books by Mr Galey as well but I have yet to read them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Information But..., October 20, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Bus Converter's Bible, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
Good information but poorly written, edited and published. Contains some technical errors.
Worthwhile as starting point.
