Best Road Bike Repair Book
Can you guys give me your opinions on the best Road bike repair book for a novice. I prefer something with good pictorials as I learn better that way.

I have both Zinn and Park tool books. Both are great and the Park tool website is often a great resource as well. One other website that should not be forgotten is Sheldon Brown's. Sheldon's recommendations are solid and well thought out. It is a true shame he never put his knowledge in book form, or if it did someone please tell me the title. The articles he did are timeless.
