The Park Tool one is good.

I need to get a good reference for minor repairs/maintenance and so forth. It should go beyond the very basics. There seem a fair number of choices out there, so it seemed good to ask what other women use.
So what is your favorite reference?

DH and I have the Bicycling one. It's thorough, and has lots of pictures (a must for me!). I also use the Park Tool website and Shimano's service instructions.

Youtube is a great resource, too. You generally have to have sense of what's wrong with your bike in the first place in order to search for it, but there are some good videos on things like derailleur adjustments.

Thanks everyone - I've been meaning to get something before now... Thanks also for the online references.
I just got confused by Sheldon Brown's site - though once I learn more it will probably be easier to use. I need pictures
