Customer Reviews

The only textbook I will ever keep
I bought this book for my auto shop class I took at the Community college during my senior year of high school. I din't really need the book for class but it was great for the open book tests we had. My Auto shop teacher strongly suggested to hold on to it for future reference.

Great book, informative
I really like this book, it's updated and it's not boring to read. I learned a lot from it.
