I am going to buy the Technical Reference Guide by Carson Dunlop.
Does the Carrier Blue Book have anything in it that is not in the Technical Reference Guide? Would it benefit me to have both? |

I have the Tech. Ref. Guide and am generally disappointed with it. Unusual for Carson Dunlop which usually has such great reference material.

Wow, I thought the Technical Reference Guide was considered a good one. I am mostly just interested in dates of manufacture.

I'm most impressed with the Technical Reference Guide. I've had it since it came out five years ago, having bought it at the CREIA/ASHI state convention here in San Diego. I don't have the 2006 version, but I understand it is even better than the 2001 version.

I like both C & D Tech guide and the Preston Guide on CD.
I've never had perfect results from either guide, but having both guides will at least get you close to the exact manufacturing dates. |

Is the Technical Reference Guide Available on CD?
And my main question; is the Carrier Blue Book Worth anything. |

I've been going to search for many of the model numbers people ask about on the Message Board to see if it has them, I know Prestons doesn't have all the answers, maybe the Carrier will fill in some of the missing info. For $30 I thought I'd give it a try, I'd like to get Preston's on CD too. |

I just bought one on Ebay too. I like the idea of having as much info on my computer as possible, with a backup CD of course. That way I don't have to go looking for things when doing a report.
