It's just ok
This book is just ok. It correctly identifies many of the parts/components of an automobile and explains, with very little detail, what the parts do. But the problem with this little book is it looks like someone's class notes. That is they were sitting in automotive class, taking notes and decided to put them in book form and sell it on Amazon. There are some good clear pictures and diagrams but the info is very stripped down. Was it worth the price? yeah I suppose but I was hoping it would be for professionally written and put together. Can I recommend it? Only if you know absolutely nothing about automobiles.

Cannot recommended. You would get more info reading wikipedia
Extremely basic information. Wikipedia and internet articles would have more detailed information. It would maybe be OK for a kid but then the language and wording used is awkward (English as Second Language?) and its layout is like notes taken during a class. It kind of feels like I was ripped off, like someone threw this together real quick to make a buck.

Great introduction to car engine basics
Iโve enjoyed reading upon the main internal components of your standard motor engine. Easy to read, and the depictions of the individual parts are clear and dimensional.
