The Mechanic's True Handbook

Written by: Peter Wallace
Illustrated by: Manix Abrera
(5/5 ★★★)


"The joys of the workshop leap from the pages as the insights this wonderful handbook provide takes you to another plane (where the wood is truly smooth).

Join us in an exploration of the workshop and the satisfaction it can truly bring. No true engineer or mechanic can afford to be without it." - www.nationalbookstore.com.ph

Needless to say, this is the same as my review with "Why You Need 3 Hands" made by the same writer and artist. An interesting insight made by Peter Wallace can be seen on page 3 where it says "KNOW IT ALL: Mechanics don't read instructions -- they know how to do it already." A thing most of us usually do upon purchasing things, such as a gadget, wherein we neglect to read the manual which could have given us a few tips to have a more enjoyable time with the product that we had just bought.

As for the illustration, Manix Abrera made use of one of the common characters seen in the Kikomachine Komix series, which is the guy whose eyes are rarely seen due to the cap he's always wearing. Well, just as the same with the book "Why You Need 3 Hands", it is a must buy for avid collectors and fans of Manix Abrera's works.
