    Sorry but for some reason the picture comes up on my phone but not my pc.... It's called "the boy mechanic" from popular mechanics.

    Picture pops up fine, Tengu, just takes a while to load I suspect. I almost gave up and moved on then suddenly it appeared.

    Looks like a good book. I'm sure I downloaded a PDF (freebie) copy of this book from someplace early this year, just haven't got around to browsing it yet.
