perzactly! :)

but we could do one-up on Muir ... there could be a technical section
of each chapter/section-of-the-bus. for example, here's how to change
a tire. and then there's the technical section about which tires you
need (oh, boy, wouldn't THAT be fun!!); and another technical section
on wheels ... all the bolt-pattern and offset stuff.
so that if you don't KNOW how to do something, here's the simple
stuff.
once you're experienced with the bus and want to know more, here's the
technical stuff.

or would that be turning 'the book' into too much of a compromise and
something that wouldn't be worth anything to anybody?
