I have bought and still own many disassemble manuals over the last 30 years of gunsmithing. A few recommendations below:

1. Have a book that lays flat
2. Photos are the key, because not everyone will read the instructions.
3. Be through in the disassembly. The NRA books are great, but stop way before ever fully disassembling the firearm.
4. Assembly is just as important. So many books cover disassembly, but not assembly. There are tricks of the trade with assembly firearms, cover them.
5. Part list with actually part numbers that were assigned is beneficial for those that just might have factory parts.
6. Page quality is important, but expensive. Bond paper is least expensive, but glossy is cleanable when you grease smear the page.

Good luck and these are just my suggestions an opinions, I would buy one either way. Thanks
