How Cars Work by Tom Newton (1999, Trade Paperback)

Excellent One-Volume, Basic Book for Learning About Cars

This book explains in simple, easy-to-understand language the most important parts and systems of a car. I use it to better understand the repairs that my mechanics perform on my vehicle. Clear diagrams and short quizzes at the end of each chapter help me retain what I have learned. It's a great "starter" book for anyone who wants to learn more about how cars work.Read full review

Book is described as very good but has a big portion ripped off.

Based on a quick glance of the contents and index the book seem to have good information on how cars work. But the book has a big section torn off. I prefer if it was dog eared and has writing all over.Read full review
