Where do I find all the Easy-to-Understand Repair Books?

I'm sorry to have to tell you that they don't exist. Don't faint!

After trying a cross-range of these available books, I was really disappointed with the content - Small pics so reproduced you couldn't tell what you were looking at - Rorschach blots? Hovering very close to actually telling you what to do like you already knew.

I learned much more following advice from some of the fine Yahoo sewing machine groups out there and hands-on trying. Yes, I do know it can be scary, but a little common sense and help from the net makes it a lot easier.

As for searching for the good among the bad, the net is like a magazine rack, it doesn't take long to figure out the truth from the trash.
