Assorted Automotive and Motorcycle Repair Manuals with General Catalog

This item is a stack of approximately 14 technical manuals, service guides, and a catalog, predominantly focused on motorcycles and automotive vehicles, with one manual dedicated to yard and garden tractors. The manuals are softcover books, varying in size and thickness, and appear to be stored within a clear plastic tub or container, suggesting a degree of organization but also potential for continued use or storage. The spines display a range of colors including black, white, red, blue, green, and various shades of gray, indicating different publishers and series. Many of the manuals are from recognizable publishers of automotive and motorcycle repair guides, such as Clymer and Haynes, known for their detailed instructions and diagrams. Titles visible include 'Modern Motorcycle Technology (Third Edition)', various Clymer and Haynes manuals for specific Honda, Yamaha, and Kawasaki motorcycle models (e.g., Honda Shadow VT600 & 750 '88 to '14, Yamaha XS 250, 360 & 400 SOHC Twins, Kawasaki 900 & 1000 FOERS), and a Haynes manual for Chevrolet S-10 & GMC S-15 Pick-ups '82 to '93. There's also a 'Non-Automotive Catalog' dated 2018 and a 'Yard & Garden Tractor Service Manual 1st Edition Volume 1' by Clymer. The overall condition of the manuals appears to be used but generally good, with some visible wear and tear consistent with their purpose as reference materials. Edges and corners of some spines show minor scuffing, creasing, and slight fraying, particularly on older or more frequently used volumes. The 'Modern Motorcycle Technology' book, at the top, exhibits some wear around its top edge. The paper quality and binding seem to hold up, though specific manufacturing details beyond the publisher names are not visible. No significant damage like torn pages, water damage, or heavy staining is immediately apparent, though closer inspection would be required for a definitive assessment. The collection represents a practical set of resources for enthusiasts, mechanics, or owners of the specified vehicles, covering a range of models and years from the late 20th century into the early 21st century.
