They always were, compared to factory manuals, which you could get
for
most cars. Cost a lot more than Haynes, though.

they weren't bad in the 70's and 80's but they got lazy as cars got
more complicated.........

Court ruling on copyright killed them. They had to own a model of the
car to prove they had learned by dismantling it rather than copying the
official workshop manual.
