Default what's the best repair manual?

I'm about to buy a '95 Civic EX and, as always, I will do my own work on the car. I want to know what repair manuals I should be looking into. For my VW I used a Bentley manual because it was so much better than Haynes and Chilton's, but they don't make one for Honda. What do you guys use? Thanks.

I have a 88-95 Civic, CRX, Del Sol Chilton, its great!
I also have the 94-01 Acura Integra, Civic, CRV Haynes

There both great tools, and a must have! I recomend the chilton, you can get in online or at any Barnes and Noble book store.

The helms is by far the best. It is the same thing as the service manual.

I also have a haynes which is sometimes good for pictures.

There is now two of them, since the original is full of dead links now.

Maybe you could consolidate them if you have the time.
