I have read it,  and used it to diagnose a 1975 L-Jet in a Porsche 914 It 
is worth the $20.  But I think that any quasi technical book is worth 
money.  The chapter on modification is brief, but the discussion of 
applications and basic theory is solid.  I would buy it again, if I lost 
it.  P.S. the problem with the L-jet was false air.  A vacuum hose kit 
made the car ten times more driveable than before.  I guess 22 yrs is a 
bit hard on cloth and rubber hoses.
Amazing ly, the ECU and rubber fuel hoses are still intact, not to 
mentoin the injectors and pump.

I am impressed with the quality and reliability of genuine Bosch parts.  
Just my opinion, not an invitation to get flamed.

My $0.02
