As someone who never owns a car and wants to learn about car. Do you think it's a good book? I am still contemplating between buying book about car or buy pc g

  What about learning more about something you already own and use? It would give you an opportunity to have a more hands on, real world experience and if it does break you can fix it?

  I really enjoyed John Muir pubs like How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive: A Manual of Step by Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot. They are available for a handful of vehicles (the Subaru one is a favorite of mine). Available at a used bookshop or new. Great drawings, useful for non-motor-heads. The Sub version has info like resuscitating a drowned lizard :) Avoid if You hate R. Crumb style drawings and hippies. Try entering 1566913101 as the search in Amazon, currently USD23.00 Edit, adding: you don't need a specific one to gain great knowledge.

    I had this book (and many many many VW's) it was a great help, I did my first valve adjustment with this book in hand.

      Pretty sure my dad still has his. I still have memories of his working on our microbus at the time, back in the early '70s. Don't think I was even five, yet, but I remember lying underneath the thing with him, watching while he worked on the brakes(?). And another time, he and Mom working a couple of jacks to pull out the engine. Yeah, that copy earned its keep. Think it still has some of the grime...
