As a restoration guide this is a poor guide,if you want a book that is a year one sales catalog with better descriptions this is your book.If you are looking for a book to help you to restore your car it is only good for part numbers.As far as how to restore these cars or any pictures or assembly diagrams,you will not find it here.

The use of the word "Resortation" guide seems misleading here. I was expecting to see more "how-to" stuff - or "problem areas with these old B-Bodies" - hints, tips, etc.. Instead you get "this car used this part number and this car used that one"..."and they are NOT interchangeable". Don't get me wrong, that IS valuable information. BUT... it seems like alot of the verbage (a very large portion of this book BTW) would be better placed in a parts interchange manual! Its like combine this book with his parts interchange manual and you have the ultimate Chrysler parts interchange manual! One thing I DID LIKE about the book was ... in places, the author would say "Paint this 30deg Gloss Black"... Now that's cool AND useful! And I guess that was what I expected to see more of...Unfortunately, it doesnt show up that much in this book! All in all I would still recommend this book - There IS alot of useful info here. but I wish someone would write a definitive MOPAR restoration book dealing with such stuff as replacing Floor pans, Quarter panels, cowls, valences, wheel wells, detailing the engine bay etc... Actually a whole volume series A,B,C and E bodies would be cool!!! Good Luck

Very detailed reference for anyone restoring a classic mopar. Very little is left uncovered. Original factory part numbers are included for most parts. A great section on decoding V.I.N. numbers and fender tags. This book also lists most option packages available for the various years. For Concours level restorations this book is a must. I studied it closely before buying my own '69 Charger. This would also be a great source of information for model builders as this book is loaded with pictures and diagrams.

This book is nothing more than a rehash of Stuart N. Lake's book on Wyatt Earp. Vestal has got Earp carrying the Buntline Special, walking on water and leaping tall buildings. This book would be fine along side a Zane Gray novel.

Stanley Vestal is a good writer when it comes to anecdotal history. The yarns he spins are interesting, and often quite amusing. This book, written in 1952, is not as dated as one might think. One will recognize differences in word choice (political correctness), but overall, this book is a good choice for someone who is not interested in a chronological history of Dodge City, but wants a highly readable book of anecdotes that tell the history of Dodge City. As an additional note, Vestal goes to great pains to disprove many of the myths that popular TV shows and nickel westerns have brought forth about the West, especially Dodge City. Vestal's view of Dodge is not from Gunsmoke! To anyone who is interested in the real story, this is particularly heartening.

The book does start out with an interesting premise. An ordinary modern man is shot back to the past through mystical means and wakes up in the body of a young Viking man. Then it goes down hill from there. It is just too pat, too easy.

Immediately he is taken under the protection of a powerful master smith. It turns out that he has a modern fighting skill that beats all comers in the ancient world. He immediately finds friends and allies. There is not enough struggle to survive that you would find, if this happened to you. Even his adaptation to his new world is easy and quick.

But the last quarter of the book was very interesting. But you have to wade through bad fantasy to find it. I won't reveal it but I will say, it at least made the book not a total waste of time for me.

An intriguing premise ... Jerry Haskins is in a car accident and, as he dies, has his mind sent back in time by a Hindi mystic to inhabit the body of an ancestor -- Jar Haz the Viking.

An intriguing mix of Norse mythology comes across in this book. While parts are fun, and it's a fairly easy read, I can't say that it gripped me strongly. There isn't a real cohesive story being told here, but rather a series of strange events.

Casey Tefertiller who brought us a brilliant book on Wyatt Earp (The Life and Legend) in 1997 wrote an introduction to this book, knowing that it was written by two different people. Dodge was never undercover for Wells Fargo. There is not a shred of evidence of that. His widow said his Tombstone notes were burned so Lake faked the first half and now Tefertiller should have used terpentine to remove varnish and reveal truth. Another hoax a la .... Another demerit for a University Press.

I loved reading this book. I am not a western theme type reader and although I may be bias, it was a great book.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT TO PURCHASE THIS BOOK IF YOUR LOOKING TO INSTALL A WELL OR SEPTIC, THERE ARE NO REAL INSTRUCTIONS ON DEPTH FOR THE SEPTIC LINES, INFORMATION ON THE DISTRUBUTION BOX ON AND ON. BUT IT WOULD PROBABLY BE GREAT FOR A ENGINEER THAT INSTALLS SYSTEMS. ED HARRIGAN VERMONT

The author is obviously very experienced and skilled in the subjects of wells and septic systems. I found it helpful in my becoming educated about things to look for and avoid when building or contracting either system. On the other side of the coin, the flow of the material is choppy, and bounces around from subject to subject. This makes it difficult for a novice to gain any knowledge about designing and installing any of the systems. As a 3 Star rating, it is a book that alerts the reader to things to look out for. R. Dodge Woodson seems to have put a great deal of himself into this book, and he touches expertly on everything...but it could be better organized. I would hire him as my contractor in a heartbeat...but not as a writer of my How-To book; however,I still keep his book handy and refer to it when the going gets tough! I'd purchase it again.

I am looking for a reference book to help me design a septic system and well for a new home project. I thought from the title that this book was appropriate (there was no table of contents available). It is not. Much of the book is geared towards helping general contractors avoid getting ripped off by well or septic subcontractors. If that is what you need, this is probably a reasonable choice. If you actually want to design and build your own well and septic systems, then pass on this title.

I'm still looking for a good design/reference text for septic and well systems...

This is a book I would definately put down. It is effectively a collection of ramblings from a demented mind.

It anyone meets the author, please break his pencil or trash his typerwriter.

Avoid at all costs.

Whilst I sympathise with the libertarian philosophy espoused by the author, this is one of the worst booklets I have EVER read. It is ill structured, rambling and full of poor English.

The author is clearly a nut-job, describing himself as "cynic, cyberpunk and raconteur" and oddly claiming that he has "the mannerism of a 19th century gentleman". In fact he is a well known fruit cake from Maine.

He claims to be an English Lord of the Manor but in fact he was simply a student in the UK who got deported.

Though you may not agree with all of Dodge's theories, this is abrilliantly written essay on where the world is going. This book reads easy and yet is not short on research and facts to back up the arguments.

This will no doubt anger any state apologist who reads it and is sure to challenge all pseadointellectuals and bring out their ire.

Aside from the entertainment value and interesting subject matter this is a must read for anyone who still values freedom and hopes to see it thrive in our country.

The images are vauge and the troubleshooting trees are far from complete. Sure it's better than nothing but don't try to troubleshoot any serious electrical problems with this manual. I tried to troubleshoot a surge between 700 and 900 when stopped at idle. It sounds nasty. I think the knock sensor is the only thing keeping my engine from dieing. I think I narrowed it down to the map/intake air temp sensor (no help from this book though). Sheesh, Haynes used to be a great series of manuals. It looks like they've gone cheap.

the book is lacking information for starting up a business in the HVAC/R industry. i have found the same if not more information from books about "starting a home based business".

This book is titled for DIY but nearly every chapter seems to start with advising us to consult with and/or hire a professional. I got more information on planning and layout from websites of system manufacturers than from this book. There is a reasonably good summary of different types and it might be OK as a guide if you're planning on hiring a professional anyway but this is not a DIY nuts and bolts kind of guide.

My hope was to find a book with example problems that reflect the new PE exam format. This book has no end of chapter problems at all. And from what I read there was no difference in the depth and breadth sections. I did a side-by-side comparison of the environmental stuff and it was word for word. As far as I can tell the only thing the depth section (which is on CD) gives you is a bunch of charts you'll never use.

The book is full of errors. It is hard to follow, even harder to reference to during the Exam. There is nearly not enough information to got a decent overview of some of the more difficult material. It was a complete waste of money for me.

I recommend the Lindeburg book.

I just bought it. I opened up on page 101 to find the Dr(%) formula (5.10) being wrong. This does not give me a warm feeling. I probably will be further disappointed with this book. I'll tell you more about it later.
