Ok...since the forum's been a little slow lately, I decided to see who can step to my collection of automotive books. Below is a pic of a shelf on my bookcase. Mind you...it's just one shelf. There's more, but the other shelves are taken up with a few books and a lot of other crap. Every book there (with the noteable exception of a book on the badass Che Guevara) is an automotive book even though it's hard to tell with the shitty pic quality. Not pictured: 5 milk crates and 3 good sized boxes full of mags and about another dozen auto books.

Hmmm....maybe I'm weird. Then again I do (sort of) sell music in a Borders, so I get 33% off books. Another indispensable book you must own..."Automotive Math Handbook" by Forbes Aird. It is to automotive theory what Maximum Boost is to turbos.

Hey do they have that honda swap manual at borders yet? I was thinking of looking at it to see if its really as remedial as I think it may be.

Glad I can add to your tech library therms :)

I don't know...I'm a contingient employee (I work when I'm in town or when I feel like it) since the Borders I work at is up in KC. I'll check when I'm on spring break and get back to you.

I would skip on that one. SA Design books rarely ever do much good. HPBooks and Cartech Publishing stuff is better.

My house looks like a Magazine store.. They are all over the place... I have thousands of them easily.. Most are car mags, the bike mags are beginning to catch up.. Then we have all of my wifes girly mags laying around also.
