There are many troubleshooting guides for PCs.  The information varies, and
some books contain more than others.  There are some fairly common points which
other works cover, and which this one doesn't.  But I would suggest that,
regardless of whether you already have a favorite guide, you get this one as
well.
 
It isn't necessarily better than the others, but it does contain a wealth of
information in different areas which I haven't seen any other book cover. 
There is, for example, a *really* good introduction to CPUs and the
motherboard.  Much of the material is eminently practical, and a lot of it
simply isn't addressed in other repair publications.
 
If you get this book, I would recommend that you get another as well, since it
does have holes.  It seems, however, to uniquely fit the holes in those other
volumes.
