Maintenace books

not sure whether this should be in buying advice or here, sorry if i got it wrong.

I want to save some money by servicing/repairing my bikes myself rather than having to take them down to LBS. It seemed sensible to start with a maintenance book but do not know which one to get,
i have found two that seem alright but any other suggests would be helpfull

Park tools big blue book of bicyle repair (2nd ed)
Zinn and the art of mountainbike maintenance (4th ed)

i will need to service my GT hardtail and my giant glory, if that makes a difference.

thanks alot

I'd go for Zinn - most of the Park stuff can be got at the website!

why go for Zinn when Park has it online?

I wouldnt want to bring my laptop next to my bike.

And zinn, I heard is easyer to understand than park.

And its nice to see pics and you can hold it up whilst fixing, doing a step by step.
