John Haynes OBE wrote and published his first book, on building an Austin 7 Special, while he was still at school in 1956. He wrote two more ‘Special builders’ manuals while doing his National Service in the RAF. The first ‘proper’ Haynes Manual, for the Austin Healey ‘Frogeye’ Sprite, was published in 1965. Based on the teardown and rebuild of the project vehicle and with extensive use of step-by-step photographs--a process that has not changed to this day--this manual set the standard for many generations of manuals to follow. Haynes Publishing was founded in 1960. The main office is located in Somerset, England and a US office is just outside of Los Angeles, CA. Printing is done in Somerset, England and in Nashville, TN. As a result of having completed over 2,000 teardowns, Haynes offers close to 500 manuals in the U.S. There is an extensive selection of auto repair books, written in both English and Spanish, and nearly 200 motorcycle and ATV repair books. Haynes manuals can be found in all better auto parts retail stores.
