Got a good book for christmas!

[Sprockets]

Amongst the usual socks and stuff, somebody bought me the latest Bosch automotive handbook.  Can't believe how good it is!  A definate must have for the automotive geeks bookshelf!  I also got a copy of "How to tune and modify engine management systems".  Not 100% on that one, some good stuff, and makes a decent read, but there are better books out there.

Can you tell that my family actually know what to buy me lol!

It is worrying though when my reference and tech books far outweigh my fiction!

Cool, cheers for the link. I'll download that later. I've been reading a library of books since I was last on here to learn more about the subject.

The Bosch book is heavy going, and is more a reference guide, but to me is full of absolute gems of information.

I think this post, or a new one, could do with a "Page'O'References", as a lot of people like to read, but there is a lot of crap out there, and to be fair, most of it seems to be american.  Also, be good to share some links from peoples bookmark lists aswell, as there are lots of interesting little sites out there with some interesting homebrew engineering.

I'll get on with mine after breakfast and start a new post!

Most of us at work have copy on our desks (diesel engine management) - we call it the blue bible.

I don't think you could ever read it cover to cover, but its great as a reference, lots of detail that you won't easily find on the net.
