A lot of information
Though I don't share the author's somewhat left-leaning views on global warming and similar topics, the book is worth the money. It gives a comprehensive education about generators. It has given me the confidence to tackle and repair old generators that we have.

Focused on repairs in generic sense.
Although this book does discuss in broad terms, backup generators and gen-sets, 85% of the book is about repairs and theory of operation. I found much of the book verbose, and sometimes unnecessary, but there are still some good bits and it is a comprehensive overall review.

this book is quiet good enough to person who have little knowledge in portable gasoline generator but one thing is not good to this book is about the diesel fuel they didnt show up the actual parts photo only drawing...for me is difficult to imagine what kind of parts is talking about.and also for installation is difficult to follow.

2014 edition for the DIY guy
I bought it based on the publisher and its number of pages. It is written by an experienced DIY guy for DIY guys with some knowledge of gas engines and AC and DC wiring. It is not for those with no experience. Repair of gas engines and the generator is well covered. I am content with my purchase. Publication date of 2014 means its really up to date in November 2013. I feel that there are some down to earth recommendations for my upcoming purchase of a generator. I'm looking forward to finishing the read.
