Best selection of early bay related books

[James26]

As the title says, looking to find out what the best books are, obviously a haynes manual is up there, but anything else specifically for nut and bolt restoration, engine rebuilding, a general guide.

Cheers :mrgreen:

The only books I've got are the Haynes, which is handy. The Bentley manual, has been a godsend on some of the bits I've done. The wiring diagrams are great - though I've downloaded one off the internet with the intentioning of printing/laminating A3 size for the garage wall. Also 'How to keep your volkswagen alive' by John Muir, I used that a tonne when I did a beetle a few years ago and his way of putting things on paper helped me get the grasp of alot of the basics - I also enjoyed his cartoon-esque diagrams, they made things very clear.

Totally agree with what's been said.

Haynes to keep in the cab just in case...

Bentley for full and accurate reference.

Muir for his way of explaining things to idiots like me.
