+2 on the helms being much better, BUT...

i was given a haynes for my civic as a christmas gift way back when i got started with my car, and it did enough for me till i got really serious.

they BLOW ASS as far as troubleshooting, especially when it comes to electrical issues, but they have all the torque numbers and a decent general procedure section.

so if you dont wanna spend $60, it will get your brother goin in the right direction.
