Best repair manual for 96 civic
It looks like there are a number of brands for repair manuals on Honda Civics. What's the best? I am looking for something that details what maintenaince should be done and when(manual was stolen from car w/ cd player), as well as gives pictures explaining parts of the civic and how to replace them...any thoughts and prices?

Best book out there is the HELMS manual, aka; the bible

OK, I'm sold on Helm...now which one of the 3 for a '96 4 door DX ? They each have different stock #'s, but the "description" of them look the same. Is there really a difference?

I need to pick one of these up for my 97 Ex, but which one is it? Is the shop manual more indepth than the service manual? I would hate to order the wrong one. Anyone selling one?
