Those are actually just three books, two different editions of the George Reid book.

I have the Tom Monroe small block book and it seems pretty good.

I would not buy the third book if you are only interested in small blocks. From the title it is a more general book, so won't cover the small block in so much detail.

For some reason the " How to rebuild small block ford engines, Tom Monroe 1979" is the 3rd one in the poll, that's the one I have. There are also a couple good books out there on small block Ford performance like this one that I also have.. Amazon.com: Ford Windsor Small-Block Performance: Isaac Martin: Books
