Which manual to get?

Okay, so I've determined that I want to attempt to rebuild my C-6 myself when I go home on leave. I want to buy the rebuild manual for it now so I can study it in the meantime... Found these two different ones...

Amazon.com: Ford Automatic Transmission Overhaul: Models Covered: C3, C4, C5, C6 and AOD Rear Wheel Drive Transmissions, ATX (Haynes Techbook) (9781563924248): John Haynes: Books

Transmission repair manual, C-6 | Transmission repair manuals | Bulkpart transmission parts


Anybody used either or both of these? Suggestions?

oh. and if anybody cares... I plan on using the TCI Maximizer Truck Master rebuild kit and the Hughes Fuel Miser Torque Converter

If you don't get what you need out of the videos, buy an ATSG (Automatic Transmission Service Group) manual. The detail and diagrams are amazing!

The video is pretty good, He tells you what can go wrong and how to deal with it. Also some cheap upgrades, like adding more clutches, I had to buy some shims and thinner steals, but its been working great for a few months now.
