How to Rock and Roll: A City Rider's Repair Manual by Sam Tracy

I did a quick search, but didn't find any reference to this book. I've had it maybe a bit more than a year now. I guess this would be better posted in the mechanics area, but it seems like most of us just post here. Furthermore, I assume most here would appreciate it more.

The book only has a very small mention of fixies. However, it is not a bad overall manual. I got it as a beginner, but now that I'm more knowledgeable, it works a lot better for me (when I got it I didn't know what a bottom bracket was). As any repair manual, it needs more pics. The book gives a lot of "punk rock" ways of repairing stuff. The most fun thing about the book is the not-so-random car-hatin' social commentary. It's good to keep it by the craper. Regardless, as I said, I was surprised to not find any reference in the forums and it is totally worth the $12. Anyone else familiar with the book? Did I miss something in my search - if so, sorry for the repeat.
