I liked the concept, and when the Dummies series of books came out, I wondered about this book. Now this book has become part of the Dummies series. I am happy to say that my copy is pre-series - blue, hardcover, with a dust jacket - although I bought it after the series came into existence, having found it (the book, not the series) at some library or yard sale. But I keep wondering about what happened behind the scenes. Did somebody come across Auto Repair For Dummies, think: "What a great idea for a series of books!" and go from there? Or was it that the Dummies series got started, and then the Dummies people learned about this book and decided they had better bring it into the fold? Inquiring minds want to know.

By handling the simple maintenance and tune-ups and being able to diagnose trouble and perform the less complex repairs yourself, you’ll save some serious money.
