Helms by FAR..

If not, Haynes is decent. Chiltons is a POS.

I have a Haynes and I like it a lot but in addition to that I bought a copy of the in garage tech manual that's on a CD off ebay for like 4 bucks, any page you want at the slide of the curse in Adobe.

I laugh at the people that voted for ANYTHING but the Helms factory service manual. Its the manual that Honda actually USES in the service departments, I don't know why ANYONE would buy any of the other ones unless they wanted a cheap manual from Pep Boys and didn't have the money/time to order from Helms.

I got the one for my Civic, and for my Integra for about 50 bucks each...and worth EVERY penny.

Helms hands down.

It's like a bible.

EDIT:
I have a helms and a haynes. The helms is good to read - always.

Though the haynes is sometimes good as well. It's a 14 dollar book that is really good for quick references most of the time - like on tq. specs or looking at where all the bolts are - stuff like that.
