Actually, the Bentley is the ONLY book that covers the water-cooled 
Vanagon, other than the almost totally useless generic Chilton import book. 
(The Clymer that somebody mentioned covers air-cooled only.)  It is a bit 
technical, but is very complete (phone book-sized, over 1100 pages), and 
the only game in town.
I have a wholesale account with the distributor, and sell the book for $62 
plus shipping. (Cover price is $90.)  Email me directly for ordering info.
