Well, I'm sticking to my opinion, Romney's book is of interest once a level of competence has been achieved, but it is of little value to the newbie. Tomosy's books are great not just for the step-by-step guidance on specific models, but for his enthusiastic writing style and his advice on modified tools and home-made test equipment. If tooling marks left by so called 'pros' are an indication of competence, or lack thereof, they could do with a refresher course starting with Tomosy's books.
"How to Repair Your Own 35mm Camera" by Lanny & Vicki Cermak is worth a read, however the photos of assemblies etc. are poorly reproduced.
