Default Good books on Detailing (?)

Yes I can use a search engine. I've looked at Google (etc) results and our (S2KI) search engine is down. Amazon has some suggestions but I'd rather hear your's.

Any opinions on a good book on detailing?

I've seen the Autopia book on line. Even have some free chapters. Looks good. Wondered about your experiences.

Griot's also has a book, but the autopia one is better.

If you want instant satisfaction and want to save the money, you can download the Griot's Garage handbook in PDF format:

the autopia book is good because it is current...
one thing that you might find is that any book that is more than a couple of years old will be outdated-

I bought the Autopia book for $12.95 with free updates for life. It's very good.
