It's excellent, and compulsory reading material when I did my Automotive engineering degree. Includes things like nut and bolt selection to suspension design.
Back then it was small format, smaller than A5, all very crammed in. But you should be used to that.

depends what you want em for.
From memory it was just about the only auto specific ref book we had, the rest just seemed to be maths books in disguise!
The other 2 I've read recently, you have anyway, they being Maximum Boost, and 21st century performance.
The books section of the demon tweeks motorsport catalogue has a good selection. Depends what you want to know, as many books are geared towards building race cars from the gound up.
For general tuning, I would recommen "4 stroke performance tuning" - Alexander G Bell, available from amazon here. I havent read the latest edition, but the previous editions of both the 2 and 4 stroke books are excellent. In paticular he uses real case studies of engines he has worked on, and shows what he did, and the effects. It also mentions dynos, ambient conditions, materials etc etc.

John,
"Engineer to Win" by Carrol Smith (as well as a few of his other books) are worth a read. There as some reasonably good 'layman' style explanations of relevant engineering topics in it.
