small engine repair book:
My husband was very excited to get this book - now if he would just repair all of the small engine things we have to be fixed it would be great!
Dated material, marginal index:
I can't bring myself to be as harsh as the one star reviewers, but they more or less have it. If your engine is 10 years old or newer, you might be disappointed. My other complaint is that the index is not very good. It is not comprehensive, and it is split up by manufacturer (the latter could be good or bad per search).
