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.

I stand to be corrected but didn't they feature photos of
the actual operations being carried out ? Which if they'd
been copied from the workshop manuals would have been a bit
of a giveaway, shirley ?
