So far ;
All the folks I've met who bought Kent's books , said they were O.K. but not worth anywhere near the high dollars he charges for them .
I'd love to be more specific but so far I've not been able to find them used . several folks have tossed them out in disgust .
A factory shop manual for most non German cars , in large 8 X 11 format , that covers the ENTIRE VEHICLE in detail , is $30 list price so I'm having difficulty paying $35 for a tiny little book with only 25 pages in it no matter who wrote it .
Of course , once I get one and try it's suggestions , I may begin singing it's praises .
