Although this book was around when many of today's parents were youngsters, it has remained a steadfast must-have in every toddler's library. For starters, it's a great vocabulary guide that names the many things that go (and some that haven't a prayer of going, but are great fun to imagine anyway). It's also teeming with detail-rich scenes and characters on every page, teaching children the rewards of looking long and closely (such as finding the hidden "Goldbug" in each spread). Along the way it entertains with the silly and slapstick--everything from toothpaste and toothbrush cars to six fire department vehicles that show up to extinguish a ladybug-size fire in a miniature pink convertible. What's most amazing about this book, however, is its longevity. When you purchase it for your fledgling talker, you should consider it an investment. Even 11-, 12-, and 13-year-olds are known to pore over the book nostalgically, cooing at Lowly Worm and eagerly tracking Officer Flossie's book-long chase after that irresponsible, speedster driver in a cowboy hat. (Ages 2 and older) --Gail Hudson

Eternal delight.......2007-10-08
You will be asked to read this every night. Your child will sleep with it, and bring it out to breakfast. The hardcover binding thankfully is up to repeated page-turning by a toddler, and the printing is vibrant and clear. I prefer "What Do People Do All Day" as it tells more stories, but who can tell a three-year-old!
Cars and Trucks and Things That Go.......2007-09-29
I have been sharing this wonderful book with so many new mothers of boys ever since my 32-year old enjoyed his book as a child. It is so colorful and eye-catching and it is such fun to find Goldbug. It is a wonderful way to share with your child and to help him use his mind.
Timeless!.......2007-09-28
My 37 year old daughter loved this book, especially searching for the Goldbugs. I bought a copy for her almost-three year old daughter and she loves it just as much. Makes me happy!
Great book for kids, and nostalgic for parents.......2007-09-19
My husband wanted to buy this book for our two year old daughter because he remembered it very well from his childhood. Even though there are many pages our daughter loves to flip through them and see the different types of automobiles and trucks, and she loves to find the little goldbug on each page. The book is a little larger than most of her other books, but she doesn't have any trouble turning the pages, especially if it is laying on the floor. As she gets older she should not have any trouble with it if it is in her lap. I think that this book will entertain her for years to come, as there are so many different things to look at on every page, plus the fun of finding goldbug.
Lots to see.......2007-09-14
It probably helps that my son is obsessed with "things that go", but this has been one of his favorites for some time. He could sit and stare at the pages for a long time - well a long time for a 2-year old. There's a lot going on on each page, so I thought he might be a little overwhelmed with it all, but there are things on each page he focuses on. Dingo the dog and Goldbug help tie all the pages together. It helps his observation skills to search for them.

Illustrated in full color. This car-and- truck-filled alphabet extravaganza that starts with an ambulance and ends with a zippercar, is shaped like Lowly Worm's applemobile.

Love Richard Scarry.......2007-10-06
Richard Scarry was a favorite of mine as a child and a favorite of my 2 year-old. This book is a great size for little hands and like all Richard Scarry books, is a wonderful vocabulary-builder.
Great things come in small packages.......2007-08-22
I expected something bigger, but the immediate disappointed withered away quickly watching my one year old grandson enjoy his new book. I don't understand it but all of my boys, both sons and grandsons were and are fascinated with trucks and cars. What a fun imaginative use of the alphabet! This is my first Richard Scary book, but I think I'm hooked!
cute book for child and early reader.......2007-08-02
not too difficult and somewhat educational. my 4 yr old loves this book (as he does for all new books)
Delightful Little Book!.......2007-07-21
My three children grew up reading Richard Scarry books and loving Lowly Worm. This book I purchased for my granddaughter and she loves it. It is a small book, just the right size for a toddler to carry around. She can easily turn the pages and loves all the trucks, cars and riding vehicles inside, with excellent fun illustrations like only Richard Scarry's books can depict. Excellent book, highly recommend.
A mixed little blessing: the world (and words) at your finger tips in the size of a thimble........2007-07-21
Of the eight toddler books I recently ordered from Amazon, this one impressed me and my smaller reader the most. Be aware that it's the size of a silver dollar, which makes it appealing to a one-year-old. It's also a durable cardboard book, yet it manages to squeeze in all 24 letters with accompanying pictures. One page was hopelessly compressed, and of course there's no word starting with "x" that won't introduce the child to the perversities of the English spelling system. Still, the child stands a chance of learning well over half of the letters--providing this nano-sized item doesn't manage to get lost in a day or two (the reason for deducting a star).

Adequate guide.......2007-08-24
Adequate for simple repairs and a general understanding, cheap alternative to buying the factory shop manual.
Survival tool.......2007-06-02
It's got home mechanic information about civics, but I wish the descriptions and the instructions had more detail. It needs better pictures too.
very frustrating.......2006-07-09
Disappointed with this & all Chilton car books. If you are a complete beginner , the explanations & pictures are not clear enough to make you feel comfortable.
The descriptions are not clear & there is a need for a lot more & a lot clearer batch of pictures.
They may work for you if you have some car knowledge but take time to read through them before you buy.
I do not feel that I got my monies worth & wish that I had looked at other options.
Helpful Information.......2003-07-08

Chilton's Honda Civic and Del Sol 1996-00 Repair Manual.......2001-10-21
Adequate for simple repairs and a general understanding of the cars covered, Chilton manuals are a cheap alternative to buying the "real" shop manual. Unfortunately, for whatever the reason, they are fraught with errors and omissions. Wiring diagrams may not be correct, and often simple step by step instructions are unclear. I have had Chilton's manuals for several of the many cars that I have owned and I often swear at them more than I swear by them.

Every car owner should have one.......2007-04-11
Delivery to Norway in time as promised. This is a great book for the do it yourself car owner. Everything is easily explained and illustrated, and even if you don't intend to do it yourself you can diagnose problems and understand what the mechanic is doing. It will help you controll that the right thing is done, and that the mechanic is not fooling you. I have a Chilton Manual for each car I own, and could not be without them!
Absolutely HORRIBLE manual.......2004-01-28
******One-star is NOT LOW ENOUGH*******
Received book as Christmas gift couple years ago. I have a 1998 Explorer, and I continue to be frustrated by this sorry excuse for a manual.....erroneous info, and complete lack of depth. As I found out late last night, something as simple as documenting a fuse-box is complete garbage.
I've also owned Haynes manuals, and seem to have had better luck with them.
I can't imagine anyone who would be pleased with this manual, unless you require instructions on how to top up the wiper fluid.
1991-99 Ford Explorer Repair Manual.......2003-05-10
In section 6 the information for the windshield wiper motor is not applicable to my 1996 explorer. Also, there is no information about how to remove / replace the windshield washer spray nozzles. Or how to remove the cowling along the base of the windshield.
Chilton's has lost touch with reality........2002-04-25
I purchased this book for needed factual, accurate information of which I got neither. I wanted to replace the lower ball joints on my '99 Ranger, so I bought this book. Take note: on page 8-4 it states specifically that the 1998-99 Ranger does NOT have coil springs. This of course is hogwash as my '99 most definitely has coil springs. In addition, it states on page 8-8 that the ball joint is an integral part of the lower control arm. This, too, is complete hogwash. Please be advised that this book is RIFE with erroneous information - including any pictures contained therein. I have lost all faith in Chilton's ability to present the correct information on ANY automobile.
Computer Module? This book only lists ONE!.......2000-12-12
There are several computer modules on my ford explorer. I bought this book to list them, and guess what, It lists just one. And its detailed instructions on how to access that module was "remove dash to expose computer module" and no diagrams. I dont know about you, but behind MY dash is a Buttload of stuff behind my dash, and not only that, but my dash comes apart in sections, so just what section I wonder?
Useless! Breaks it covers fairly well, good thing that the explorer, ranger, and mountaineer all use the same breaking system(cough cough)cause it lists just one way.
Good thing the electronic diagrams are the same for all the vehicle types(cough cough) for all listed vehicles from 1991 to 1999 as it onlyu lists one vehicle schematic, otherwise Id be lost.
Good thing there was a mechanic within calling distance to put back together everything I ripped out per the chiltons book, otherwise Id be walking.......

Review of Chilton's VW-Golf/Jetta/Cabriolet 1990-98 repair manual.......2007-06-10
I bought this hoping that I would find enough information to repair a problem with a 98 Jetta. It's always a crapshoot with Chilton's - I was able to fox a 98 Jeep Cherokee with another Chilton's manual I had purchased for that car.
I lost this time. The manual lacks in detail - the many sensors the car has are mentioned, but never described. There was no troubleshooting information for any of the sensors I was looking for. There is only basic coverage of the fuel injection system. I was able to find more on Google than in this book.
A waste of money for me. your mileage may vary.
Chilton's Manuals are genrally better than this..........2004-08-03
I have bought 3-4 Chilton's manuals for my Hondas over the years and was very impressed with them. This Chilton for our VW Cabrio was VERY poor. Luckily I bought mine used for $7. Manual gives ALOT of general information, little of specific to the Cabrio or Volkswagen. No relay layout and no specific cruise control information at all - two specific points of interest for me right now. This book will walk you through general topics like timing belts, brakes, and oil changes.
Where my Honda Chilton manuals were printed on newspaper thin paper to cram as much information as possible into 1 book, this one is printed on normal paper and is thinner than the Honda manuals. Book fails to address hardly any of the Cabrio specific items such as convertible top care, and top replacement.
Do yourself a favor, gather your courage and money and spend the $50 or so on the Bentley manual. You will be much happier with it. Anybody want a Chilton's manual for cheap?

Incomplete and contradictory.......2004-01-25
This is a poor manual. In many cases, the instructions given even on basic repairs are incomplete (torque specifications missing, for example). It also contradicts itself - the text will say one thing, and the captions on the pictures say the opposite. For example, the instructions for replacing the air filter say that you don't need to disconnect any hoses or wires from the housing in order to remove the housing, but the pictures show you exactly what hoses and wires to remove. Regardless, I was unable to get the air filter housing open at all with these directions; I'm by no means a mechanic, but I think I should be able to change an air filter with a well-written repair manual. Also, the information about the rear washer system isn't detailed enough - I can't find the rear washer reservoir where this book says it is. Perhaps they left out some Golf-specific details and the description of this system only applies to the more-popular Jetta? Hopefully I'll find out soon, because I've returned this book and ordered the Bentley manual, which costs three times as much but will hopefully be complete and consistent.
Haynes repair manual.......2003-09-06
This book is not up to the standards of any other Haynes book I've ever owned. It is more like the Chilton manuals-poorly illustrated- that created a market for the Haynes manuals in the beginning.
Does Not Cover all 1999 Models.......2001-12-10
Potential buyers should take note that this book does not really cover most VW's that were produced in 1999. It covers only those on the A3 frame, not the A4. The A3 frame was used briefly in 1999 and replaced in 1999 with the A4. VW refers to them both as 1999 models.
Book Description
The techniques automotive industry professionals use to tune Ford vehicles for peak performance are detailed in this in-depth guide to the operation of engine computers. The entire tuning process is exhaustively presented with information on the operation of Ford Electronic Engine Control, performance chips, and OBDII diagnostic tools. Beginners as well as experienced tuners will benefit from key information on numbers and buttons that should not be touched, the use of a home PC or laptop to tune like a professional, and changes to recent Ford models. The nontechnical approach integrates humorous stories and recipes into the practical automotive instruction.
Customer Reviews:
Waste of Time & Money.......2006-06-24
This book covers very basic information about tuning. There is no actual tuning information. It's just a glossed over description of how engines work and minimal information on performance tuning. The cover states "This is the first complete guide to electronic performance tuning of Ford vehicles". BS.....this is not a guide to tuning. There is a section covering Diablo tuners and how they work. Hmmmmm, wonder if this section was included because the author has an interest in the company? There is a section on cooking the author's favorite recipes...WTF!!! If I wanted a cook book, I would have bought one. I want my money back.........not worth the price!
Very Disappointing.......2005-01-11
I read the entire book in an hour. Lots of pictures and other filler. There was virtually no information on tuning. The book was mostly just a product brochure for diablo's products and how they work. If you want to know how their products work then this book would be fine for that. I found tons more useful information on actual tuning for free on www.fordfuelinjection.com. As a an example the book would say, "the tuner modifies the fuel table to achieve maximum performance". Well no duh! I was hoping to see a bit more detail than that.
Great book!.......2003-08-28
Since I own a company that manufactures tuning hardware and software, I was curious to what this book was about.
After reading it, it does alot to help the reader understand what is involved in tuning the Ford PCM. It is not a "How-To" book but more of an in-depth guide on the process of tuning.
The book is full of colorful diagrams and picture that take the reader through each step in the tuning process. How the Ford EEC works, how chips work, how OBD-II scantools work and how the whole process is put together to tune a vehicle. The writing style is not dry like a technical manual, but well written and rather humorous at times.
I personally use the OBD-II code list in the book on a regular basis. The recipe section at the end is something unique.
If you want to know how the chip companies develop thier products, then this book is for you.
THIS BOOK IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE.......2003-06-25
I purchased this book last summer and was extremely disappointed.
From memory, here's a summary of what the book contains:
1) how engines work (2 pages or so). This is 101 material.
2) how processors work
3) how OBDII works, including signal processing (useless info for tuners)
3) anecdotal info on the Diablo chip, bordering on a sales pitch.
4) anecdotal info on Dario Orlando/Steeda.
5) lots of useless colorful pictures (PADDING) -- e.g. Dario sitting in his car tuning it (This really helps me tune mine).
6) lots of big print.
7) lots of margin space.
8) narrow columns of text.
9) a bunch of blank pages in the back for notes. PADDING.
10) a cooking (yes, COOKING) chapter on some stupid favorite recipe of the author.
11) OBDII scan codes. PADDING.
The author clearly was told to fill [n] pages so they could hardbound the thing and charge $... It reminded me of grade school when I was told to write an [n] page essay on [subject x]: Using the usual tricks, I wrote long winded sentences with no contractions, double spaced lines, and big margins. The only difference between my essays and this book is the price.
I was so mad after skimming this book that I threw it away the day I got it. I bought the book because I just purchased an EEC-Tuner and was interested in learning more about the subject. Even with my very limited knowledge on the subject, I was underwhelmed with the info presented in the book.
Don't waste your money like I did. Even thinking about this book is making me angry.
how the magic works.......2003-05-23
I am an ASE Master auto technician. 25 years of factory and aftermarket training left me with no information on the magic inside the engine control module. Now I know how the magic works. Any tuner modifing a Ford engine needs this book.

99% of what you'll need........2007-08-30
For everyone but the most experienced technician this service manual will get you through almost every concievable task.
A perfect companion to the Bentley manual is the book 101 Performance Projects for Your BMW 3 Series 1982-2000 (Motorbooks Workshop)
Every E36 owner should have both books on their bench.
Very Basic.......2007-07-24
If you don't know what a screwdriver looks like, then this is the book for you. There are helpful pictures of basic handtools just in case you don't know what they look like. Very disappointed, no more information than a Haynes Manual. Should have a statement that reads Suitable for ages 8 to 10 on the front cover.
BMW E36 Service Manual review.......2007-07-16
very informative. i learned so much about my car that i can now easily understand whatever the mechanic is explaining. And I've also tried to do things on my own, by carefully following specific instructions in the book, which are easy to comprehend.
An enthusiast's bible... .......2007-07-06
This is a large( 60mm thick! ) book, aimed at people who have more of an interest in their Z3 than just driving it with the roof down.
It covers so much about the Z3 in great detail; it is probably more suited to mechanically minded people.
All areas of dismantling, trouble-shooting and repair are covered from head gaskets to air bag removal, from stripping door cards to cleaning break lines etc.
The downside:
I'm driving a 2.0L, 6 cylinder model which was only available in Europe (i think?)for a about 18 months and isn't included in this American publication. However, all topics covered appear to be the same (except, of course for the fact that my car is right hand drive!!)
Conclusion:
If the owners manual just doesn't cut it with the amount of information you need, then this book will answer all your Z3 queries with ease.
I'm satisfied with my purchase.
Missing a lot of important information.......2007-05-26
Looking to work on the convertible top? Diagnose electrical problems? Figure out how remove that zany body trim to get to what you need to repair? This book may not be much help. If you are hoping for more than you can readily find on web forums, you will be disappointed. I purchased this book because the table of contents said the convertible top was covered, and it did contain 10 pages which started: "Diagnosis of the convertible top and the rollover protection systems are beyond the scope of this book. Your authorized BMW dealer has the proper diagnostic equipment and tools to carry out these tasks." Then the pages have diagrams that can be found on the internet, indicating a few removal and adjustment points, but lacking even a clear picture of all of the components, much less than is required for even a meaningful diagnosis of simple problems, or to replace or adjust a simple component. Very disappointing. This book would be good for a beginner, that needs help with the service I and II steps, or to an expert performing a complete engine rebuild, who already knows exactly what they are doing and merely needs the order and a checklist. For someone in between, many critical steps are missing or unclear, for many important tasks.

Chilton's Jeep CJ/Scrambler 1971-86 Repair Manual.......2001-07-08
As always, Chiltons manuals are one of the best for reference to a vehicle. They are usually on the mark for information and "how to" things. This particular manual is a little weak on the V-8 304 CID engine and I believe that there are mis-prints throughout on the numbering and figures that are drawn out. The electrical diagrams are the best there are but I think that the identifying the part that you are looking at could use a little more detail. All in all, the Chiltons repair manuals remain the best.
a good book.......2000-07-25
good for do it your self mechanic
Absolute necessity for Jeep 'Wheelers!.......2000-03-18
A very comprehensive manual. I have worked on my various Jeeps dozens of times and have found this manual to be indespensible. Based on a complete tear down and reassembly of the Jeep vehicles that are discussed. An invaluable resource. Although I can buy it considerably cheaper down at the local parts store.

Gearheads, grease-monkeys and grannies unite!.......2000-05-04
So I'm covered in mud and (ouch) gravel--funny how those sharp stones can really stick to your skin. Anyway, I'm trying to resurect a half-dead 1965 Ford Pick up by myself, with very few tools. I'm what I'd consider mildly mechanically competent, but with the time honored tradition of Chilton Manuals I've managed to work on my own cars with very good results. For older vehicles you'll also want to get the original manual (usually not too hard to find.)Chances are if you're looking at this book you're already comfortable working on your own vehicle, but on the off chance that you're a novice, consider this. Getting comfortable with working on your own vehicle and getting to know your vehicle is the best thing you can do. It saves you money in the long run and you'll feel empowered when you gap your own spark plugs for the first time. Seriously, with this book anyone should feel comfortable taking a look under the hood of their vehicle and doing a little work.
