If you have a 1960-69 Saab this book is your only help!
Chilton's makes a lot of automotive manuals, most of them overly generic. However this book, (maybe because it was published so long ago), is actually quite helpful. It covers 1960 thru 1969 SAAB 95 and 96 models including the 750, 850, Monte Carlo, and even the Sonett I and II. It covers both the Two-Stroke and Four-Stroke V4 models. A lot of information in this manual is relevant to other Saabs of the era, like the old 93 and the newer 95 and 96.
As with any manual, this is not a step-by-step repair guide, but it does include a lot of troubleshooting issues and would assist a shadetree or even an experienced mechanic with a repair. I was surprised (when compared to other manuals), how in depth this particular book was when covering the three and four speed transmissions, it almost rivals the factory Saab manual! The V4 engine section could be a little more detailed but it contains all the basic information you need. The two-stroke section is excellent, even containing a small performance section and lists of now obsolete factory racing parts.
Bar none, since this is the only manual available for these vehicles, you have no other choice but to purchase this one (if you can still find a good copy), but you will not regret it.

If you have a pre-95 FI Ford, you should own this book!
This book claims to cover 1988-1993 Fords with the EEC-IV system, but information contained in applies up to 1995 and touches back to 1978 in a few places with the EEC-I, II, and several pages of the EEC-III and CFI units. There are also dozens of pages covering the MECS (Mazda Engine Control System) found on imported Ford models and even a small chapter dedicated to performance modifications!!! The wiring diagrams are excellent, and there are test procedures for every piece of the system including individual sensors, fuel injector specs, and etc. I was a little disappointed at the lack of step-by-step procedures and troubleshooting for the average joe, but being a certified mechanic and owning three Fords covered by this manual I can see it is worth owning, even if you have a factory shop manual! It is easy to navigate, and this book covers a lot of theory, (almost 2 chapters), and would be best used as a supplemental manual. This book has since gone out of print, and prices have gotten as high as $128 for a new copy, I do not feel it is worth quite THAT much, but well worth the almost $40 I paid for it a while back. This is the only reason I rate it at GOOD versus an EXCELLENT.

Tetris 2, More of an after thought than a sequel.
1 of 2 found this helpful If you owned Tetris and expected it's sequal, Tetris 2, to be even better you will be severely disappointed. Unlike in Tetris, the object of Tetris 2 is to match up colors to make lines disappear, instead of matching up blocks to form straight lines. Tetris 2 has three play modes, Practice, Player vs System, and Player vs Player, which is something the original Tetris did lack not having a two player mode available.
The game is interesting, and far more challenging than Tetris, but quite frankly I find it almost boring! The music is stale and the sound effects are practically non-existant unlike the exciting and upbeat theme of the original. NO rockets shooting off or little men playing the accordion after the end of each level either. Bottom Line, save your money and purchase the original Tetris version, in my opinion you'll be far more satisfied.
