...& most likey still all we use...I have several copies of the Bentley's laying around the shop - both the green & 'pink'....they're placed so they're easy to get to, & looking just now, every car with an open hood has a Bentley laying on the front fender...some are dog-eyered & have their covers held on with binder clips, some are almost new.
...I've also got all the Haynes but they usually just sit on the bookshelf in a corner unless there's something in the Bentley I don't understand or just isn't there.....the main thing I use them for is their illustrations - they do have a few that are decent.
