This review is from: Pocket Guide to Emergency Bicycle Repair (Spiral-bound)

The book is laminated and very compact to make it easy to take along. I am new to cycling and wanted a road guide to bring in my paniers. Did the job, and I am very happy. It seems to be pretty complete, althought I haven't used it yet -- hopefully I won't need to for a while.
