This book is both funny and infinitely useful. March 27, 1998 I read the first edition years ago, and whenever I work on my car I wish I still had my old copy to help explain some of the jargon found in other books. Please note, do not lend this book to anyone, its that good! Now I don't really need it because I have so many other books to help me with car repairs, but it was this book which got me started. To be honest, I think this book started the "dummy series". When I saw the title of the book I thought, now this is the book for me, 'cause I don't know anything. Anyway, please don't buy other repair books first, I did and I had to buy this one before I understood anything. This book can save you money and open up a new hobby for you. Call me crazy, but I like it :o).
Great beginner's book but needs updating. June 22, 1997 I bought the first edition of this book in the early 80s and loved it! Gave away a number of copies as presents. I also bought this edition. Deanna Sclar presents auto repair simply enough for the complete klutz (me) to understand it. Shame she hasn't published a new version since 1989
