Try Amazon.com to buy one, I just thought what an amazing prezzie for a SOHC4 fan. :)

I'd be interested also in hearing from someone who has the book.

It's listed on Amazon.com for $15. You will find it easier to find if you search for the actual title "Honda SOHC Fours (The Essential Buyer's Guide)".

I looked through the preview pages including the contents and it seems exclusively to give simple advice for a novice who is considering buying a SOHC4, most of which you'd already know (or would have learned the hard way) if you have one.

Save your money. I bought this and the same book on Norton.  Basically the same 2 guides written in the same format. If you are on this forum I doubt you will glean anything new.

I didn't get one so it must not be worth it.
