Summary: Weak attempt at Photo Manual
Comment: This review covers the last three editions of this book. They are poorly reproduced spiral bound photocopies with fuzzy pictures. Theory of operation is virtually nonexistent. The explanations are vague and incomplete. I found the books to be entirely useless.

Rating: 2
Summary: Dumpster Diving
Comment: There is a good bit of information between the covers of this title, but finding it is like diving for good stuff in a dumpster. One could do without the ad hominium remarks. I fell I must rewrite/organize it for it to be of much value.

Rating: 2
Summary: Not as helpful as Mr. Romney writes in his own review.
Comment: While somewhat interesting, the book lacks sufficient information for what it costs. One of the biggest drawbacks is that it does not have an adequate Troubleshooting section, which is the first place one would go to determine the direction(s) where one should begin. For example, a stuck shutter in almost any 35mm camera would have common reasons for the stuck shutter. The reader could then try the different fixes given. It simply lacks the more common problems the novice might find. The illustrations are barely adequate and there is a "cheapness" to this spiral-bound manual that looks like it was run off a Xerox machine. If you are searching for a top-notch introduction to repairing cameras, well there are none that I have found, but the Thomas Tomosy books are the better place to start.
