I liked the illustrations in the COCOMITE guidebook to professional tools, published by Trusco Nakayama in Japan. It&rsquo;s online in English here:https://www.orange-book.com/ja/c/cocomite/index.html#UNIVERS...(The title is from the Japanese ここ見て, koko mite = look here.)

Wow. There is a book on electrical work call (I think) Wiring Simplified, which I thought very good. Andrew Tannenbaum's book on operating systems (the one with Minix) had good illustrations, I thought.
