Carson Dunlop -Home Reference Book-

[devans]

I have just begun taking the Carson Dunlop course and they seem to be pushing "The Home Reference Book" it costs over $80 shipped. Does anyone have any feeback? Is this book worth it, or even necessary?
I'm quite willing to buy it but I thought I might get other opinions on it first.

I have the Carson Dunlop Illustrated CD.

The only time I use these images is on this MB.

Sorry...never seen it.

I have one that was given to me by a friend.
Does have a lot of good information and the whole book stems towards a checklist style of Inspection that I don't do, but does have very good info on what to check for.

I use it like a reference book.

Thanks Marcel,

I'll probably get it then....If I don't like it, it's on your head......just kidding. I appreciate the help.

Lots of good basic material.

Errors or not the basic stuff is great for reference and got me out of many brain freeze moments when I started.
It follows a great systems and components format .

Not a end all H.I Bible, but certainly one of the best books out there to help a new guy.

if anyone finds the perfect book we can all stop asking so many damn questions here.
