Bosch Automotive Handbook - Publisher? 1

[Whittey]

Does anyone have any comments or can compare the two published English translations of the Bosch Automotive Handbook? I see SAE puts out one from Dec 2000 and Bentley Publishers puts out one from Jun 2000. The price difference is 20% (with SAE being more expensive) and really what i'm after is whether or not the premium for the SAE printing is worth it.

Whittey,

Bentley Publishers is the publisher.

It is available from Bentley Publishers, Amazon.com, or SAE International.
The SAE International member price is the lowest.

OK, I wasn't sure because Amazon lists the Bentley Publishers ISBN is different than the SAE ISBN.

0837606144 - Bentley
0768006694 - SAE

Note that your Bentley link shows a different ISBN than your SAE link. The Amazon link is to the Bentley listed ISBN, but if you scroll down to the Product Details and click on "All Editions" (to the right of "Other Editions") you'll also see the other ISBN listed.

According to the blurb in the 3rd edition Bosch is the publisher, SAE is the distributor, and Bentley and a German group publish approved editions, all with unique ISBNs.
