My experience with manuals..... and I have a lot of it is that Haynes is the
absolute worst choice.....   Chilton is better, and Motors commercial
version best, but for a specialized manual on something like the RX 7 if
they are still available Climber makes the best unit specific manuals.    I
have several Haynes manuals and they are good only for providing
specifications and step by step idiot instructions for doing a procedure
with no explanation of systems and how they work or why they are used.....
Totally worthless in my opinion.

Unfortunately it is hard to find anything else now a days Howard.

I totally disagree, I find the Haynes FAR superior to the Chilton manuals.  Just my
opinion, but for me I find the illustrations in the Haynes to be very helpful.  I
am not familiar with the Climber manuals.  My favorite are the Mazda manuals, but I
sometimes take a peek in the Haynes too.  Chilton and Haynes can be regularly found
on ebay for lower than new cost, the Mazda ones are rarer, but show up too.  Here
is an ebay tip:  Do searches both for RX7 and RX-7.
