From a novice standpoint; it's excellent. Well, I practically grew-up in my dad's garage (like many of you) but never had formal training... I've just finished a 5 month training course at a trade school and this was one of the text books. Very well organized, easy to read, good illustrations, and it's a great overview of automotive systems in general. A solid introductory.
Great book

This book is like my automotive bible, I am from Trinidad and own my automtive shop, getting up to date in the automotive field here is a real problem, this book gave me the opportunity to better myself in my field. It also helped me to passed the A1 and A8 ASE certification in one try that was recently introduced into my country 1 year ago. I highly recommend this book to all interested in this field.
Another great one

This is probably the 4th book from Jack Erjavec that I have read. He was an instructor at a college I attended in the 90's. Without a doubt, one of the most interesting men I've ever met. I am still in the automotive industry and have been for ten years. I will undoubtedly be learning from Jack my whole life.
