Very useful, particularly for novices. Very detailed information on the operation of a lawn mower.

Somewhat light on troubleshooting and may be a bit basic for someone with mechanical knowledge. There is a section on how hand tools are used as an example.

I would recommend this book for those just beginning to think of working on their own machines and those curious about proper maintenance to avoid having to repair them in the first place.
