Good information for beginners

This book i got for my grandson who is looking to go in the auto mechanics field. This book has info on the basic knowledge of the engine and other things about how to take care of your car. It does have pictures and let's you know what and where each part goes. It also has practice test at the end of each chapter.

Before boxing. Double check product isn’t damaged in any way before sealing.

Delivery good, package good, product, hard cover book bent up bad. Put 20lbs of books on top. 2 days later. Better than received.

Cheap, Blurry, Not Visual Step-by-Step

I normally don’t put reviews but I want to help others not waste their time or money. The book is blurry and not visually descriptive as the book title says. I expected colorful pictures showing details and instead get a lot of words and blurry drawn photos. I wanted to gift this for a beginner and did not because it does not accomplish what I’m after. I hope my review helps others decide.

Sloppy composition riddled with grammatical errors

The information included in the book is helpful, however, no copy editing was done before this went to print. For some inexplicable reason, the first line of every section has words running into each other without spaces. There are numerous grammatical errors on every page. Additionally, there is no evidence that the images included are done so with permission or credit to the original sources. The cover design is clearly AI generated.

Lacks in editing

3 stars because it actually teaches you basics.Not the best quality in terms of it repeats the same paragraph word for word just after you’ve read it.
