This book is really good if you want to know specifications and tuneup info. If you want to know how to disassemble the dash so you can replace your heater core, forget it because each year and model is different. They just don't get into that. The Haynes manuals are good for common things on all the models, like engine, brakes, shocks, oil filter location, etc. I am surprised that every now and then they actually have better diagram details than the factory Honda manual. Also rather strange is that they spend time on how to repair dents with body filler; this is NOT a body shop book!
The problem with these books is that they cover many years and models and sometimes the authors just plain blow it. So they give you just enough rope to hang yourself with! In the case of the CVCC engine, they completely ignore the procedure for removing the auxiliary valves from the head, which is involved and requires special tools. They said to use a valve spring compressor, which is what you would use to disassemble it AFTER you have removed it from the head! I have the factory service manual as well, so it is easy to compare. The problems with the Haynes book led me to invest in the factory Honda service manual!
