 Good book March 19, 2008

This is based on the older published version but with updated material like newer ignition and emission regulation. This book has more colored pictures than the previous edition.
I generally like the previous edition more because it was what I learned with. There is less color and it goes straight to the point. I have only skimmed through this book. Other than that, its a good book to learn about automotive technology.
If you really want to learn, go through each chapter throughly and do the review and questions. (and of course, do hands on)

The best book I ever read, very informative except that the author decided to delete the topic regarding the carburators in this edition. I think they should retain it as part of yesterday, today and future technology to aid new technician in case they ask to repair carburator a lot of car using carburator still running in our street specially in my country Philippines. The rest of the book are awesome!! great!!!!

This book is so complete and exhaustive that it could be called the Automotive technology Bible! But remember, this book is for the serious reader, not for the occasional reader! Buy this if you are serious about the subject.
