I have the Chilton, Haynes and the factory service manual on cd. They're all different, with the Haynes being the least complete and the factory service manual being most complete.

I broke down and bought printed copies of volumes 1-4 of the factory shop manuals, they should be here next week. I thought about the CD and it would have saved me about $20 bucks but I can't do the digital book thing. I have to have a printed book with pages I can hold and see.
ETA - Also bought a Haynes, might pick up a newer Chilton's just to have as much info as humanly possible.
My choice is all three......factory first, then Chiltons, then Haynes.....I picked all of them up as I like as much information as I can find, and sometimes the illustrations or pictures in one source may be from a different or better perspective than another. Even the factory manuals, detailed as they are, don't always have the best illustrations....so I just back up my library with as much information as I can get.
