I used all of mine but Hondaman's book is by far the best.
The parts book is also very handy.

+1 to that. Factory manual is excellent, but it assume you know what you are doing. I have an old Haines Manual I like because it assumes you don’t!

HondaMan's book is something you should get regardless, but a reminder that we do have a reasonably good selection of original Honda technical publications at http://manuals.sohc4.net/
 
For most models, you'll find parts lists, service manuals, and owners manuals.
