Looks profitable to me.
I think JF Print of Yeovil bought some of their book business
and went
bust, but that didn't include the manuals part of the
business.
Haynes Publishing itself has branched out a bit, there is a
Silverhatch
manual (for Roary the racing car fans), and various other
similar kinds
of book.
Everyone should have a haynes manual for their car. It will
save you a small fortune and could be life saver if you break
down in the middle of no where with no phone signal.
If you want more detail or are just a bit cheap like me there
are plenty of free manuals available online. I use the free
manuals as a companion to the haynes usually.
From my experience with cars a haynes manual is of little use unless
you have a laptop, lead and software to work out whats gone wrong -
unless its a visual or audibly obvious mechanical fault. And Haynes
normally says take it to a dealer for the bits I can diagnose...
