I've got a copy and it is very good! What els is there to say?
Park Tools website and Shimano tech docs tell you a lot of the info but it is handy to have a book you can carry around.0 -
I also have a copy and recommend it highly. I've got the Park Blue Book as well. Both are excellent, but I prefer Zinn for his conversational style and the book's ease of use0

just use the makers Web sites and download the info you need. Books are out of date as soon as they are published.
I have Zinns MTB book but i dont use it. I also have the Haynes one, Dont use it.
but I do have a USB drive with every manual I could need.
and the links below."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

I do have this and i have to say I dont like it. I dont find it that clear...no I'm not stooopid. I prefer to use youtube or park tools. You can generally get everything through these and its free!0

You find it easy to set your computer up beside your bike stand when you need a quick reference for something in the middle of a job?0

Yes as easy as - put laptop on bench, open laptop. turn on. Find youtube video, watch, work on bike. Re-watch video, do next step. Yes all quite easy really. And guess what no need to hold the pages open!0 -
