Excellent Summary of A3 Thinking
I finally got my copy of this book in the mail last week. I guess it is sold out and hard to obtain at any site. I'm glad to finally have mine. Given some of the comments above I'm guessing there was either a delay at the publishers or they simply did not anticipate all the demand. I did finally get mine however... Regardless I am please to note that this book is an excellent summary of A3 ...

Very Informative
This is a great book for the EV enthusiast. I was a little surprised that the pages of the book seem like xerox copies. But the quality of the information is very impressive.

non-welder bought book to see if I could teach myself.
I have only welded once before with no instruction. It seems extremely difficult. Now after reading this book I understand why it is difficult and I know a lot more. My goal of purchase and reading the book were completed yesterday, and now I have to ask my wife if I can buy another power tool and some steel to play with. I can't promise her, but I think I will have fun and maybe burn myself. ...

I think anyone who drives a car, and knows how to read, should read this book
I think anyone who drives a car, and knows how to read, should read this book. It is a pleasurably readable analysis behind the science and psychology of driving. A thousand times I nodded in agreement while reading Vanderbilt's descriptions of the events and reasons behind what we all do while at the wheel of our cars. His writing is so clear and eloquent, that his explanations not only ring ...

Riding the Edge
I think this book was as good as the Sonny Barger book, Hell's Angel if not better. Very gritty and realistic and man, John Hall is a very good writer as well. He kept me reading and reading on.

Not just Do-It-Yourself, but Understand-It-Yourself.
Well-organized, easy on the layperson's eyes but without talking down to us either. "The Essential Guide to Motorcycle Maintenance" is divided up into sections and subsections that make it both an interesting cover-to-cover read but also very easy to use as a fast reference when repairing on the fly, taking the "Teach a man to fish" over the "Give a man a fish" approach. If all you want to know ...

great book for learning refrigeration
as a homeowner considering central air and seeing how idiot contractors screw people firsthand, I wanted to learn as much as I could about refrigeration and HVAC before hiring anybody. This book is great, from a design and selection standpoint on refrigeration all the way to installation and maintenance practices. I can easily see why it's a college textbook, too bad my college texts back in ...

One of the best books for those interested in riding a motorcycle.
Let me start off by saying that this book does not bypass taking the MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) riding class in anyway for a budding motorcycle rider. If you want to ride a motorcycle then the MSF course is a must period. The MSF class teaches you so much while allowing you to practice in a safe and calm riding environment with trained instructors at your side to ask questions and get ...

Fantastic, Easy-to-read, Informative Book
After watching my sister go through several Auto Tech classes to learn how to work on a car, I was intimidated by the amount of time & money I thought it would take to get the same knowledge. Then I found this book. I've been a faithful reader of the Dummies books for a long time, and this one just reinforced my opinion of them. After reading this book, I am able to change my own oil, check & ...

Haynes Service Manual
This book is essential for the person attempting to maintain or repair their own scooter. When used in conjunction with "The Scooter Book" also by Haynes, these two books are pretty much all that one needs when maintaining and repairing their own scooter. To me not as readable as "The Scooter Book", it is still essential to own as it contains the more technical aspects of servicing your ...

The book is very good. But I am charged for an additional 10 euros by the mail delivery company for which I was not informed on the website. So be careful when buying a book from here.
