New Clarinet Manual

I just got the "Haynes Clarinet Manual" by Stephen Howard from Amazon. It was released early and is a pretty good beginner's care and maintenance manual. Haynes is the British publishing group that does all the Do-it-yourself manuals (I know them from years ago when I used to work on my car. My dad and I actually rebuilt a 1960's Mercedes-Benz 190D diesel engine using a Haynes manual.) Anyway, it's pretty thorough, and explains common care (eg. bore oiling, mouthpiece cleaning, pad care) as well as basic maintenance like spring replacement, repadding, etc. They do most of their work on Hanson and other British clarinets, but the principles cross-over well to my LeBlanc Bliss 310NS. I don't know how many people do their own maintenance, but this book is written in plain Engish (pun intended) and isn't cutesy like the "For Dummies" series.
