Essential Reference for Engineers
This book is a must for engineers working in the car industry. It is essentially a reference book containing just about anything relevant to automobile design, development and quality engineering.

Note that it is purely a technical work - you can't really read it like you would a textbook or the like, and it works brilliantly for looking up formulae or basic material properties.

It outlines the workings of various systems - ABS or fuel injection with an obvious emphasis on Bosch products - Motronic injection for example, although it is by no means a sales pitch - products are only used for schematics or demonstrations.

All in all, a vital reference, as important as a Machinery's Handbook or a copy of Kempe's if you work in automotive engineering.

Reference par excellence
This book is astoundingly comprehensive. It is a reference, not a guide. It is not a how-to. It's not going to hand you a solution to any tuning or setup issue on a plate. What it will do is give you enough information and simple math to understand principles and practice. It is also full of reference tables for every aspect of cars. There are pages, sections even, that I may never read. But there are other pages which are pure gold.

The Automotive bible, if your serious about cars you NEED it
A very comprehensive book for all serious automotive people. Very highly regarded throughout the automotive industry you'll need this book just for a quick easy reference and to deliver the detail necessary for more complex ideas. Excellent.
