I really liked this book, and the photography helps immensely in a field such as bodywork. Lots of information, and unique tricks that aren't in other bodywork books. Only thing I didn't like was the subject matter for some of the projects- movie cars aren't quite my tatse but there's still a lot of great information here

I have a lot of books on this subject but Eddie Paul's has the most information by far. I really like his stories about the movie car business too. There are so many tips on techniques and tools that i refer to it repeatedly.
