Deeply researched, beautifully made reference books for the machine you're keeping, fixing, or bringing back to life, down to your year, engine, and configuration.
Manuals for anything with an engine, on land, at sea, or in the air.
Not a thin PDF, not a forum thread. Each title is a full owner's bible for a specific make and model, researched deeply and made to be kept.
The documented weak points for your model, how to inspect each, and what a fix truly costs, a checklist to carry aboard or into the garage.
Torque values, capacities, and intervals from factory data, with honest hedges where records disagree. We never bluff a number you'd turn a wrench by.
Cross-references, modern equivalents, and the yards and suppliers still stocking what you need, even when the builder is long gone.
Custom editions fold in your repower, electronics, and refits, so the book describes the machine in your driveway, slip, or hangar, not the one that left the factory.
Complete titles from our press, full chapters, glossary, and index. Open them and judge the depth for yourself.
From Ted Irwin's history to the screw-fastened hull-to-deck joint to exact Yanmar 3GMF service data, with a personalized "Your Vessel" chapter.
An obscure trawler almost no one has documented, so we established the real builder and built a spec sheet that exists nowhere else.
Every custom edition is rebuilt around one machine: your year, your engine, your electronics and refits, your serial or hull number, and your machine's name and photograph on the cover. It stops describing the one that left the factory and starts describing the one in your garage, slip, or hangar.
Search the catalog. If your model isn't there yet, commission it, and add your engine, electronics, and refits for a custom edition.
Our press runs a deep, source-cited investigation and assembles your full volume, typeset to our standard and delivered within about two weeks. Titles already in the library are ready to read instantly.
Read your digital book online in your library the moment it's ready, or order a drop-shipped hardcover printed to order.
Most people want the one book for the machine they own, so buy it outright as a digital edition, a printed hardcover, or a custom edition built around your own vehicle.
"Every volume is checked by an adversarial review before it ships, claims verified against their sources, uncertain figures flagged rather than faked, and anything safety-critical carrying its citation."
It is a reference work: always verify against your own machine and the manufacturer's documentation before you turn a wrench.
