Oh, book, I am an automobile major, and you want to learn the basic knowledge of automobiles. Let me tell you something. I don't know if I can buy a big bookstore, because there should be:

Introduction to automobile

Foundation and maintenance of automobile chassis

Automobile Engine Foundation and Maintenance

These are all good. I recommend a website for you: Baidu: (Jiao Jiao Automobile Association)

This website is mainly about automobile technology. You can go and have a look, exchange and study with people inside, or combine books and networks. It's boring to teach yourself to drive a car. The parts in the book can't be moved, so it's practical.
