Good Resource Book?
« on: April 08, 2007, 09:41:30 PM »
I am into stock vw bugs and constantly looking for good resource books. I am always interested in the changes that happened from one year to the next and proper parts for my bug. I have Bentley's, Clymers, Haynes repair manuals. In addition I have Volkswagen Bug! (Ray Miller), The VW Beetle (Ryan Price), Small Wonder(Walter Nelson)..to name a few.

And of course I use the internet as good source of information. But I still like to have a good book on my book shelf. So what good stock vw resource book do you recommend?

FYI,

I tried Wilkinson's for a copy of Progressive Refinements, unfortunately it is no longer available. But I was able to get a copy of it from a local person.  It appears to be a very cool resource book.

Thanks everyone.
