I don't know if it's the best, but the Haynes Manual (available from The Bus Depot),
is a little more user friendly.
The ETKA CD is great for getting part numbers and seeing how parts go together.
The best is probably this and other lists, especially the archives, and building your
own archive from the many great "how-to's" posted over the years.
There are also the many great list member web sites, with detailed instructions and
photos.
