Re: A good book...

That's the ISBN for Bentley two-volume repair manual for 5K cars, Gisli,
and it's the best new-book price I've seen.  I paid about $7 more  PLUS
shipping (and the two volume set is fairly hefty=high shipment cost), so it
ended up being about $120.

I think the Audi Quattro book is a history of the marque/review of Quattro
development.  I think I looked it over in a dealership waiting room.  You
might check there to see if any local dealers have it on hand so you could
decide if it's worth it to you.
